Book Synopsis Thomas Jefferson's Presidency by : Emily Rose Oachs
Download or read book Thomas Jefferson's Presidency written by Emily Rose Oachs and published by Lerner Publications ™. This book was released on 2016-08-01 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thomas Jefferson, the third president of the United States, was a man of contradictions. Jefferson penned the most stirring claim of the Declaration of Independence: "all men are created equal." Yet during his lifetime, Jefferson owned hundreds of enslaved African Americans. An adamant believer in limited government, Jefferson nevertheless acted without constitutional power to buy land from France—the Louisiana Purchase—that doubled the size of the United States. Jefferson died on the Fourth of July, 1826, exactly fifty years after the signing of the Declaration of Independence. Despite his contradictions, Jefferson's words continue to express the noble ideals of Americans—freedom from tyranny and equality for all.
Book Synopsis Jefferson's White House by : James B. Conroy
Download or read book Jefferson's White House written by James B. Conroy and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2019-10-23 with total page 325 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the first president to occupy the White House for an entire term, Thomas Jefferson shaped the president’s residence, literally and figuratively, more than any of its other occupants. Remarkably enough, however, though many books have immortalized Jefferson’s Monticello, none has been devoted to the vibrant look, feel, and energy of his still more famous and consequential home from 1801 to 1809. In Monticello on the Potomac, James B. Conroy, author of the award-winning Lincoln’s White House offers a vivid, highly readable account of how life was lived in Jefferson’s White House and the young nation’s rustic capital.

Download or read book Negro President written by Garry Wills and published by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt. This book was released on 2005 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1800 Thomas Jefferson won the presidential election with Electoral College votes derived from the three- fths representation of slaves -- slaves who could not vote but were still partially counted as citizens. Moving beyond the recent revisionist debate over Jefferson"s own slaves and his relationship with Sally Hemings, Garry Wills instead probes the heart of Jefferson"s presidency and political life, revealing how the might of the slave states remained a concern behind his most important policies and decisions. Jefferson"s foil was Thomas Pickering, who along with the Federalists fought the president and the institutions that supported him. In an eye-opening, ingeniously argued expose, Wills restores Pickering and his allies" dramatic struggle to our understanding of Jefferson, the creation of the new nation, and the evolution of our representative democracy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Jefferson the President: First Term, 1801-1805 On turning the leaves of the calendar backward I am dismayed by the discovery that I have been unable to proceed through Jefferson's presidency as an investigator and writer any faster than he himself did as a living man. I have met with a number of unforeseen interruptions, but my main difficulties have arisen from the very nature Of the task. His presidency was much the most complicated part of Jefferson's career and the materials bearing on it are considerably more extensive than in any other equivalent period of his long life. During his presiden tial years, as in no others, his Story merges with the history of the country. He has to be related to far more events and persons than when he was a lesser official or when, retired at Monticello, he was above the battle. He repaired to that cherished sanctuary regularly while First Citizen, but not even there could he be a private man. He received communications about public affairs by every post, and only when riding on horseback about his farms, or tinkering with some gadget, or enjoying the companionship of his beloved family, could he be oblivious of what was going on in the country and the world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This work is primarily about properly understanding some claims about Thomas Jefferson ... This work is particularly aimed at understanding Jefferson in light of claims made about him by some religious conservatives, especially those by David Barton. ... The aims of this work are quite simple: to be dispassionate in the analysis of the claims about Jefferson and to understand the events in question in their proper theological and cultural context. ... The plan of the book is to take church and state claims first followed by a focus on Jefferson's personal views of the Bible and religion. Then, we [the authors] briefly examine claims relating to the University of Virginia and close with an examination of Jefferson's views of race and his actions as a slave owner"--Page xi-xiii.
