Thomas Jefferson - Founding Fathers - Legends of America - One Minute History

00:00:59

Thomas Jefferson is born on a plantation near Charlottesville, VA. After inheriting the property, he clears the mountaintop and names it Monticello, or ‘little mountain’. In law school, Thomas is elected to the VA House of Burgesses and woos the wealthy Martha Wayles Skelton with his skills at the violin. He writes his first political pamphlet before being elected to the 2nd Continental Congress; where he drafts the Declaration of Independence. He becomes the governor of Virginia, ambassador to France and the first Secretary of State before being named Vice President after his loss to rival John Adams. Four years later, Jefferson defeats Adams and becomes America’s 3rd president, overseeing the First Barbary War, the Louisiana Purchase and the Lewis & Clark expedition. Thomas Jefferson dies, hours before John Adams, on the 50th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence. At his side was his slave Sally Hemings, who DNA evidence has proved to be the mother of six of his children.
