Thomas Jefferson: The Mind Behind the Declaration of Independence

Описание: Thomas Jefferson was more than just the third president of the United States. He was a philosopher, writer, scientist, revolutionary, and founder. From crafting the Declaration of Independence to doubling the size of the nation with the Louisiana Purchase, Jefferson’s legacy shaped the foundations of American democracy. But his story also reveals contradictions—his vision of liberty, his relationship with slavery, and his complex private life.

In this video, we explore Jefferson’s life from his early years in Virginia to his final moments on July 4, 1826—exactly 50 years after American independence. We uncover the political battles, visionary achievements, and personal struggles that defined one of the most brilliant—and controversial—Founding Fathers.
