# Thomas Jefferson

> The man who wrote 'all men are created equal' while owning hundreds of human beings. Jefferson's Declaration gave the revolution its moral language, but his contradictions - philosopher of liberty, architect of expansionism, lifelong enslaver - became the country's.

## Bio

Born into Virginia's planter class in 1743, Jefferson represented the colony in the Second Continental Congress and became primary author of the Declaration of Independence. He served as Virginia's second governor from 1779 to 1781, then U.S. Minister to France from 1785 to 1789 before Washington appointed him the nation's first secretary of state. He organized the Democratic-Republican Party with Madison, lost to Adams in 1796 and became vice president, then won the presidency in 1800. His first term bought the Louisiana Territory and doubled the nation's size; his second dealt with the Embargo Act and the Aaron Burr trial. He died July 4, 1826 - fifty years to the day after the Declaration - ranked among the upper tier of presidents, praised for religious freedom and peaceful expansion, and questioned for enslaving large numbers of people his entire life.
