Thomas Jeffersen was one of our many great founders! Right now you may be wondering what a founder is. A fonder is a person who founded our country. That means they made the laws and had ideas to found the world. ==== Thomas lived a long life from 1743-1826. He stood at 6' 2 1/2 feet tall. For this, he was often called long Tom. Thomas played exellent violin, soothing his wife. Instead of dressing formal, Jefferson preffered "junky" clothes. Throughout his life he had headaches. He bathed his feet to avoid diseases. ==== ==== Jefferson was a very smart person! He had about 19 jobs and intrests. He spoke greek, spanish, itallian, german, latin, and french alond with english. For this he was very highly respected. Thomas Jefferson was actually one of the most respected person in his country! Jefferson also respected the rights for women. Later on he became president. ==== ==== On July 4, 1776, he wrote the Declaration of Independence. This was good ,but not all of what he wrote was good. If Jefferson didn't like someone, he would write stories about them to make them sound like the nastiest person on the face of the Earth. If he did like you, you would sound like the best person ever! ==== ==== James Madison was Thomas Jefferson's best friend. But, John Adams and Thomas disliked each other after they got on opposite political sides. Jefferson and Adams died on the same day, July 4, 1826. Before John Adams died, he silently whispered, "Thomas Jefferson lives." ====
