Jefferson was born in Shadwell, Virginia, on April 13, 1743. He was the son of Peter Jefferson, a wealthy planter, and Jane Randolph Jefferson. Jefferson's parents instilled in him a love of learning and a deep commitment to public service. He attended the College of William & Mary and studied law. After graduating, he returned to Virginia and began his career as a lawyer and politician.
Jefferson was a strong advocate for American independence. He served in the Continental Congress and played a key role in drafting the Declaration of Independence.

It declared that all men are created equal and that they have the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

After the war, he helped to draft the Virginia Statute for Religious Freedom. The statute was a landmark piece of legislation that guaranteed religious freedom for all Virginians.

Jefferson retired to Monticello, his plantation in Virginia, after his presidency. He continued to write and to engage in public affairs. He died on July 4, 1826, the 50th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence.
Thomas Jefferson was a brilliant and influential figure in American history. His work helped to shape the new nation's political and philosophical foundations. He was a true Renaissance man, and his legacy continues to inspire and educate Americans today.
