In this 1794 letter, Thomas Jefferson shows us his aversion to taxes, especially without people's consent. As President, he repealed *all* federal taxes, except land sales and import duties, and still lowered the national debt by 30%

Despite receiving much criticism, Thomas Jefferson still didn't forget the controversial Thomas Paine and his work during the revolutionary. In this 1801 letter, Jefferson gives Paine safe passage to America. So except for Jefferson, Paine would later die largely forgotten in 1809.

Despite popular belief, Thomas Jefferson had the full approval of the Congress before buying Louisiana from France, as shown by this 1803 letter. Due to Napoleon's sudden change of heart on the deal, there was no time for amending the Constitution as Jefferson would've preferred.

In 1800, while as Vice-President and leader of the US Senate, Thomas Jefferson wrote a manual with set of procedures for the Senate to use. The Congress, both the Senate and House, still use the manual today, 224 years later.

Despite not seeking office and staying in retirement at Monticello during the election of 1796, Thomas Jefferson still received 68 electoral votes to John Adams's 71 electoral votes. In this letter to Adams, Jefferson said the Presidency "is a painful and thankless office."

Few Americans know that during Thomas Jefferson's Presidency, Massachusetts Senator Timothy Pickering colluded with others to secede from the Union to form a "Northern confederacy." But as this 1821 letter shows, Jefferson tolerated his fierce critic, even making Pickering his friend.
