Middle party conflict in 1800, Thomas Jefferson wrote in a personal letter: "I have committed on the altar of God eternal hostility against every form of tyranny over the mind of man."
This powerful advocate of liberty was born in 1743 in Albemarle County, Virginia, inheriting from his father, a planter and surveyor, some 5,000 hectares of land, and his mother, a Randolph, high social status. He studied at the College of William and Mary, read the law. In 1772 he married Martha Wayles Skelton, a widow, and took her in his partly constructed mountaintop home, live, Monticello.
Freckles and reddish hair, rather large and unwieldy Jefferson was eloquent as a correspondent, but he was no orator. In the Virginia House of citizenship and the Continental Congress, he contributed his pen not his voice to the patriot cause. If the "silent member" of Congress, Jefferson, at 33, drafted the Declaration of Independence. In the following years he worked for his words a reality in Virginia.

He also sent a naval squadron to Barbary pirates to harass the U.S. trade balance to fight in the Mediterranean. Although the Constitution does not provide for the acquisition of new land, Jefferson suppressed his doubts about constitutionality, if it the opportunity to acquire the Louisiana Territory was by Napoleon in 1803.
