About this episode
Thomas Jefferson was the primary author of the Declaration of Independence and the 3rd President (1801–1809), serving as the first leader of the "Democratic-Republican" party.
His presidency is defined by the Louisiana Purchase (1803), a $15 million deal with Napoleon that doubled the size of the United States overnight, adding 828,000 square miles of territory.
