 Legacy - Thomas Jefferson (Library of Congress Exhibition)
Fear for his reputation and public legacy led him to beg his closest friend, James Madison, to "take care of me when dead." In his final letter to Roger Weightman, Jefferson eloquently espoused the central role of the United States and the Declaration of Independence as signals of the blessings of self-government to the world.
Thomas Jefferson began his memorandum notebook of political events while secretary of state in August 1791, and sporadically maintained it until the close of his presidency in 1809.
Because Virginia law required a freed slave to leave the state within one year, Jefferson asked the Virginia assembly to grant the freed slaves permission to remain in the state "where their families and connections are." The request was granted.
