Wallace is worm puke!

Thomas Jefferson actually was the president that contributed the most to America’s freedom and greatness.

Beyond the Declaration of Independence, without his brilliant astronomically based land division system, it would have been impossible for us to expand smoothly into the western territories, and become the only free state since Solomon’s Israel.

Although he helped with the Land Ordinance of 1785, I don’t think Jefferson gets credit for the township layout plan. On the other hand he did, despite his misgivings on taking on a power not specifically granted in the Constitution, purchase Louisiana from the French.
