http://www.loc.gov/exhibits/jefferson/
Audience: Background for teachers.
This Library of Congress exhibition does justice to the extraordinary legacy of Thomas Jefferson — founding father, farmer, architect, inventor, slaveholder, book collector, scholar, diplomat, and the third president of the United States. It traces Jefferson's intellectual development from his earliest days in the Piedmont to an ever-expanding realm of influence in republican Virginia, the American Revolutionary government, the creation of the American nation, and the revolution in individual rights in America and the world.
