Thomas Jefferson, in his writings and speeches, often proposed that American colonists should seek independence from British rule. He advocated for the principles of self-governance, personal liberties, and the inherent rights of individuals. Jefferson emphasized the importance of uniting against tyranny and establishing a government based on the consent of the governed, ultimately leading to the Declaration of Independence which called for a break from British authority.
