In colonial Virginia, a young Thomas Jefferson questions unjust laws and taxes. Driven by a passion for justice, he becomes a lawyer and a pivotal figure in America's fight for independence. As the author of the Declaration of Independence and the third U.S. president, Jefferson's vision and leadership help expand and define a burgeoning nation. How will his ideals shape the future of a new country?
From the publisher
When Thomas Jefferson was young, Virginia was still a colony of England. Jefferson thought that many English laws and taxes were unfair, so he studied hard to become a lawyer and help make better laws. Soon he and others came to believe that the colonies should become a new country, and Jefferson was chosen to write the Declaration of Independence. As the third president of the United States, he focused on exploring the country and making it grow. His fairness and love of learning made him one of the most beloved presidents of all time.
