 * Thomas Jefferson is one of the higher held presidents in historians eyes. They believe that Jefferson was able to keep an open mind in the democratic republic ways. Historians believe that Jefferson was the[| final distinction] of money classes, meaning that after Jefferson was president, there wasn’t as much emphasis on how much money a person had. People back then were iffy about Jefferson since he was a Democratic Republican and there was a great difference in the Democratic Republicans and the Federalists. Also, Jefferson was able to take advantage of the Louisiana territories being offered through a deal instead of bloodshed to gain land; this was a major bonus. It was the first time land had been acquired through peaceful means. Through the years he has become more loved, and in more recent years, highly critical of. Abraham Lincoln even said, “ the most distinguished politician in our history”. [|John F. Kennedy] had said in response to the Nobel laureates, "I think this is the most extraordinary collection of talent, of human knowledge, that has ever been gathered together at the White House, with the possible exception of when Thomas Jefferson dined [here] alone." Jefferson had started the Library of Congress from his own books and when it burned down, he gave all of his books from his home in Monticello to Congress. Thomas Jefferson has been one of the most successful presidents behind George Washington. **
