Do you know that Thomas Jefferson's tombstone says nothing about the fact that he was president? If i was president i think that i would at least want people walking past my grave to be like...Oh cool, they were president once.
He was a very BAD public speaker.
He fell victim to the first every really awful smear campaign when he ran for president. His opponents in the race spread rumors about how he was an infidel, which back in the early days of America was really bad. This was completely false however as Thomas J was hugely religious. These views shaped the way he live and also the way he did politics.
He loved wine!
He played a mean violin! No really...he was amazing. He stopped being so good however when he broke his wrist trying to impress a girl.
He opposed slavery.
Most people say that he was a very cool and laid back guy, i would like to have met him.
How exactly was he trying to impress the girl that involved the breakage of the wrist? Hmmm?
