Thomas Jefferson

    13. April 1743 – 4. Juli 1826

    Thomas Jefferson verkörperte das Ideal der Aufklärung und glänzte in vielfältigen Bereichen von Recht und Wissenschaft bis hin zu Musik und Architektur. Seine umfangreiche Korrespondenz und seine tiefgreifende Auseinandersetzung mit der Welt machen ihn zu einer Schlüsselfigur der amerikanischen Geschichte. Jefferson besaß die bemerkenswerte Fähigkeit, komplexe Informationen prägnant zu analysieren und auf ihren Kern zu destillieren, was ihn zu einem unschätzbaren Mitglied jedes beratenden Gremiums machte. Seine Theorien zur Selbstverwaltung und zu den Rechten der Menschen, die sich in neuen Ländern niederließen, prägten das frühe amerikanische Denken.
