As the principal author of the Declaration of Independence, he laid the groundwork for America&#8217;s founding principles of personal freedom and his vision inspired democratic movements worldwide for nearly 250 years. During his presidency, Jefferson doubled the size of the country and ignited western expansion, transforming the United States from a fledgling nation into a powerful empire, and global force. However, while Jefferson&#8217;s immeasurable contributions to the origins of American democracy and government have been well documented, his deep connections to slavery remained largely misrepresented in narratives about the early republic and his life for generations. Recent historical scholarship, which has informed this new docuseries, has shed light on his complex relationships with enslaved people and their role in the making of the American Republic.<\/p>\n<p>Across three nights, <em>&#8220;Thomas Jefferson&#8221;<\/em> offers a dynamic exploration of the powerhouse president&#8217;s complicated legacy, tracing his journey from early childhood to his rebellious young adulthood, which set the foundation for his political acumen and eventual presidency. Through visual recreations, in-depth historical context, and thoughtful commentary from prominent experts, including historian Annette Gordon-Reed, writer Jon Meacham, and descendants of Jefferson himself Andrew Davenport and Gayle Jessup White, this television event authentically presents Jefferson&#8217;s legacy. It portrays a story of triumph, conflict, and contradiction during pivotal chapters in America&#8217;s early history.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, the Thomas Jefferson Foundation granted The HISTORY\u00ae Channel unprecedented access to Jefferson&#8217;s iconic estate, Monticello, further enriching the comprehensive storytelling of his life.<\/p>\n<p>For more information on <em>&#8220;Thomas Jefferson,&#8221;<\/em> please visit: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.history.com\/shows\/thomas-jefferson\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">www.history.com\/shows\/thomas-jefferson<\/a>.<\/p><div id=\"morty-1637273076\" class=\"morty-content_2\" style=\"margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;text-align: center;\"><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-4937602850188786\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block; text-align:center;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-4937602850188786\" \ndata-ad-slot=\"5227734695\" \ndata-ad-layout=\"in-article\"\ndata-ad-format=\"fluid\" data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\n<script> \n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); \n<\/script>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The HISTORY\u00ae Channel continues to cement its place as the leader of premium presidential biographies with the premiere of the six-part television event &#8220;Thomas Jefferson&#8221; airing consecutively across three nights beginning this Presidents&#8217; Day on Monday, February 17 @ 8PM ET\/PT.
