The Second American Revolution (Reflection)
When you think of the word “Revolution” as a whole, you think of the word “Revolt”. Normally whether it’s a single person, a group, or maybe a whole country, when we revolt against something, it’s normally because we want change. When Thomas Jefferson came to power as America’s third president of the United States, he caused a revolution to occur.

He almost always didn’t and when he did he did it in a way that could represent a child trying to explain to his parents how he failed his test that he was supposed to study for, but he didn’t. No one wants a stranger to be president, they have to have both the power and the way of expressing that power. Jefferson had the power, but not the way of expressing that power, so in today’s politics if he were to try and run again, he would stand no chance.
Now, if I were to recommend this, I would say yes if you want to know a short way of what Thomas Jefferson has done in politics in general, but not if you want to study Jefferson as a whole. I still think it’s a good way of showing why we should celebrate Jefferson, and also a good explanation of what makes his legacy live on. Jefferson’s time was indeed like no other, it wasn’t the best time, but it was far from the worst, and I’m glad that this article contributes to his
