My Essay Is Over The Readings
My essay is over the readings “Hope and Heritage: Myth and Thomas Jefferson by Gordon S Wood and “Thomas Jefferson’s first Inaugural Address, 1801, both of the readings give a good insight to one of the most influential characters in American history they tell a story about how everything started for Thomas Jefferson and some of the trials and tribulation that he had to face along on the way , they mostly explain how his legacy still affects the American people and the world due to his beliefs that one man can change the world.
In the Reading “Thomas Jefferson’s first Inaugural Address, 1801” Thomas Jefferson’s First Inaugural address celebrated the most important election ever held in the history of the world. Jefferson believed that election was as important as the Declaration of Independence, for it marked the first time in modern history that a government surrendered its power to popular election, the party voted out of office left voluntarily. The address applies the principles of equality because the election was decided by the people. Jefferson’s speech marks the completion of one of the most dramatic periods in American history; the 1790 is when the threat of civil war arose over competing visions of the federal government. Jeffersonian the “Anti-federalist” competed with Hamiltonian “the federalist” as each side castigated the other over the power of the federal government and the French Revolution. The Democratic Republican party would go on to be established as the world’s oldest continuous political party, coming to be known as the Democrats. From Jefferson through Abraham Lincoln all but two elected presidents were Democrats.
Despite the bitterness of the campaign, Jefferson points to common underlying principles and a loyalty that transcends partisanship. Thomas Jefferson words of wisdom uplifted the American people and gave America new hope.
