He walked to his inauguration instead of riding in a fancy carriage and he also shook people's hand instead of having them bow

Thomas Jefferson (1743-1826) was the third president of the United States, exercising two terms between 1801 and 1809. He was the drafter of the text of the Declaration of Independence.

In 1796, Thomas Jefferson ran for president of the republic, competing with John Adams, but was defeated with a small difference of votes.

According to the law in force, Jefferson was the vice president of the republic, but Adams' federalist ideology caused serious crises between the two parties.

In 1780 he was again a candidate, being elected the third president of the United States. He was the first president of the Democratic-Republican party.

His government's priority was the development of the country. The main achievement was the acquisition of the vast territory of Louisiana, purchased from France in 1803, doubling the area of the United States.
