Lens Quotation: "Character is what you are in the dark." -Dwight Lyman Moody

I believe that Thomas Jefferson’s vision of America won. According to the text, it says, “Jefferson advocated the power of state governments so much that when Jefferson walked about “country,” he was referring to Virginia, Gutzman says.” This shows that Thomas Jefferson’s vision of America won. Thomas Jefferson thought that to have a republican society; it had to be highly decentralized. On February 17, 1801, Thomas Jefferson was elected president of the United States, but there was no more to it than beating his opponent. He viewed European societies, especially Great Britain, as corrupt, controlled by moneyed interests, and afflicted with the problems that he saw as endemic in urban settings. Thomas Jefferson’s vision for the United States was that it would become an agrarian nation, composed of white yeoman farmers who owned their lands. Thomas Jefferson won the support of Congress and became the third president of the United States.

I chose the article because it made me feel curious and wanted to learn I believe that Thomas Jefferson’s vision of America won.

I feel like I’ve learned a lot of things in life that people accomplished and worked hard to do it. It didn’t change my opinion, but it still made me curious about how Thomas Jefferson did all of this. I would change the situation by not giving up.

I made a connection that Thomas Jefferson is one of the people that lives in America like many people and me live here so it can be a national level for us, and there is a connection that I live in America because of that. The information I learned about affects people on a local level that some history people got into a war and elections, which is going to be the president.

Hope this helps you!!!

Have a great day! :)
