Thomas Jefferson?

Question

Can anybody tell me of some major events that happened when Thomas Jefferson was in office? Both Vice President and President. But he has to be related somehow.

Answer 1

When he was president he bought a bit of land from France called the Louisiana Purchase.. It doubled the size of the U.S. at the time..
That was one of the most important events while he was prez.

Answer 2

When Jefferson assumed the Presidency, the crisis in France had passed. He slashed Army and Navy expenditures, cut the budget, eliminated the tax on whiskey so unpopular in the West, yet reduced the national debt by a third. He also sent a naval squadron to fight the Barbary pirates, who were harassing American commerce in the Mediterranean. Further, although the Constitution made no provision for the acquisition of new land, Jefferson suppressed his qualms over constitutionality when he had the opportunity to acquire the Louisiana Territory from Napoleon in 1803.
During Jefferson's second term, he was increasingly preoccupied with keeping the Nation from involvement in the Napoleonic wars, though both England and France interfered with the neutral rights of American merchantmen. Jefferson's attempted solution, an embargo upon American shipping, worked badly and was unpopular.

Answer 3

French Revolution - Jefferson was gaga like a school girl over the French.
