| Synopsis: |
The United States' boundaries have expanded over the centuries - and at the same time, Americans' concept of their country has grown as well. The nation the world knows today was shaped by centuries of thinkers and events. Thomas Jefferson was one of the most important of these thinkers. Jefferson longed for a peaceful nation formed of small farms built on the principles of equality and justice - and yet during his presidency, slavery took a stronger hold on the nation, while the country headed ever closer to war. Jefferson may not have been able to live up to all his ideals - but his lofty principles still provide Americans with a goal toward which they can aim. During his presidency, the Louisiana Purchase doubled the geographic size of the United States. And perhaps most important, Jefferson helped define that which is still best about America. |
