In 1814, a man stopped at a tavern in Virginia for the night on his travels and had dinner with a humble man on a single horse. They talked furniture and he was sure the man was a carpenter. The conversation turned to farming, and he was convinced the man was a farmer. Later it was religion, and he thought the man must be a pastor, as he himself was. Then they talked physics, and again his new friend must be some kind of scientist. He was fascinated. The next morning, he was eager to talk again to his new friend and rushed downstairs hoping to meet him for breakfast, but he was not there. He asked the innkeeper where the man had gone, and the innkeeper asked, "who?" "The man I was speaking to last night, I never caught his name." The innkeeper cries out, "By God sir, don't you know that was Thomas Jefferson?"

Doug Bevins well I cant disagree with some of what you said but you fucked up calling the man the grandfather of the civil war. Leaving out the economic side of that war and making it just about slavery shows you’re lopsided in your assertion. Hey these days revisionists love to slander truth to the most extremes so its easy to sway the many that don’t do their diligence to the research of these events. You’ve left a very long statement to someone not in the know in a negative. Bravo.

I think the point of that scene was twofold. One: show Benjamin Franklin's inventor/scientist side by having him show admiration for Jefferson's invention. Two: show Benjamin's skill as a diplomat by showing him praise Jefferson to make him feel better after he had just spent the previous scene editing and critiquing Jefferson's declaration.

They both died on the same day----July 4, 1826---exactly 50 years after the declaration of independence. One of the last words uttered by Adams before his death, was, "Jefferson Survives!" Incredible.

Thomas Jefferson is among the most fascinating of the Founding Fathers. Even with tons of studies and books about him, Jefferson remains a bit mysterious and elusive to us. Stephen Dillane's portrayal of Jefferson is absolutely superb, and I do not think I have seen a better portrayal of Jefferson on-screen, ever. Mr Dillane must have studied Jefferson extensively for the role, as he gets Jefferson's measured passion across very well, and that mystery and elusiveness across too. The Dillane portrayal is almost as fascinating as Jefferson himself!

I love and am fascinated by the Marquis de Lafayette. A 19 year old French aristocrat (one of the wealthiest men in France who married into the most well connected family) who defied the king and bought a ship to fight for America for free and clothed, fed, And armed his men and even lived at Valley Forge with them when he could have been in a mansion. Becomes one of Jefferson’s best friends, becomes like a son to Washington, and like a brother to Hamilton. Everyone loved him. Except the French afterwards when their revolution took place. He believed in a constitutional monarchy with the king as a figurehead like Great Britain today. So both sides hated him because he wanted a middle ground because he didn’t believe France could have what America did because America didn’t have royalty, aristocracy, etc for thousands of years. So they killed his wife’s family and was arrested and put in an Austrian prison for 5 years while his wife sent his son George Washington Lafayette to live with Washington wile she and their daughters lived in prison with him. Still on the 50th anniversary of the revolution he visited America and 80,000 of true population of 110,000 people came to see him and t was like that the entire year plus he toured the 24 states. The Beatles only had 4,000 out of 8 million. Reading about his visit with Jefferson brings tears to my eyes. In the 50s a descendant of Lafayette found tons of letters between him and revolutionaries all over the world . Apparently he spent 2-3 hours a day writing and even houses revolutionaries in hiding whenever needed. He never strayed from his beliefs. He was offered to be dictator twice and turned it down. Jefferson said to him that you think others motivations are as pure as yours, my dear marquis, they are not.

@@TheGunderian Quote Jefferson: ''I am increasingly pursuaded that the earth belongs exclusively to the living and that one generation has no more right to bind another to its laws and judgments than one independant nation has the right to command another.'' If you understand what Jefferson was saying, then you understand that you cannot impose your laws, tradition and values to the current generation. That if these traditions; laws and values was something they desired, you wouldn't have to force it down their throats. They would preserve them willingly and no government could force them otherwise. The problem is not a political party. They are only the symptom of the will of the people. Instead of trying to pursuade people to preserve something they do not desire. Try to figure out a system that is viable and that the people want. I suspect that this desirable system wouldn't demonize and oppress half the population just because they have a penis in order to benefit the other half who do not have penises. Just sayin...

Gives me chills. The expanse of their brilliance. Their different opinions and approaches truly came from a good place. Pat yourself on the back that YOU wouldn't have done some of the bad things they did but you're lying to yourself. If you lived back then in their place... you would have been the worst of them all.

Because it literally was the case in the 18th century and 19th century. Why do you think 80 years later Robert E Lee refused to fight for the union when Virginia left to join the Confederate states of America. Same in Canada the states and provinces where basically like individual countries. There was no fast instant connection. Like we have in the 21st.century of 20th century. And it took months to get messages from one place to another. And most people never stepped outside of their own state. We take it for granted that we live in a easily accessible fast communication era

The idea of belonging to a single country, the 'American' identity really only started to form after the civil war. Before that the United States was thought more of as a confederation of individual states, people identified more with their state than the country as a whole.

The United States Declaration of Independence was actually inspired and influenced by the widespread publication and circulation of pamphlets of "Common Sense" by Thomas Paine! Before the widespread circulation of "Common Sense", there were no Revolutionary patriots who openly advocated American Independence from British Empire! I just don't know why Thomas Paine is not considered as one of the Founders of the United States!

John Smith You are judging a man based on your time, not his. Many founders owned slaves. It was a point of contention among the early congress, and yes, morally reprehensible. Thomas Jefferson was a man of his times, and despite these moral qualms, his genius and influence cannot be discounted. Also, he had many positive qualities worthy of a great man. He was wary of financial institutions and organized religion, which I believe are both admirable qualities.
