Description

As the third U.S. president, Thomas Jefferson made bold moves like the Louisiana Purchase, which doubled the size of the nation. But his legacy is also full of contradictions—he wrote about freedom while owning enslaved people. This episode looks at his time as president, his accomplishments, and the difficult questions historians still ask about his life and values.
