If this question has an answer, it will probably not be revealed to anyone attempting to read the many accounts of his life. For two centuries, biographers have provided divergent perspectives on him as a man and conflicting appraisals of his accomplishments. Controversial in his own time, Jefferson's propensity to polarize continued in the years after his death as biographers battled to control the commanding heights of history. To judge from their depictions, there existed many different Thomas Jeffersons. This book explores how individual biographers have shaped history - as well as how the interests and preoccupations of the times in which they wrote helped to shape their portrayals of Jefferson. In different eras biographers presented the third president as a proponent of individual rights and majority rule, as a unifier and a fierce partisan, as well as a champion of American nationalism and global citizenship. Conscripted to serve Whigs and Democrats, abolitionists and slaveholders, unionists and secessionists, Populists and Progressives, and seemingly every side of just about every subsequent struggle, the only constant was that Jefferson's image remained a mirror of Americans' self-conscious understanding of their nation's virtues and vices. This book brings together leading scholars of Jefferson and his era, all of whom embrace the challenge to assess some of the most important and enduring accounts of Jefferson's life.--description provided by publisher. 588 0 Online resource; title from PDF title page (ProQuest Ebook Central, viewed February 21, 2020). 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 600 10 Jefferson, Thomas,|d1743-1826.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/names/n79089957 600 11 Jefferson, Thomas,|d1743-1826. 600 17 Jefferson, Thomas,|d1743-1826.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/40754 647 7 American Revolution|c(United States :|d1775-1783)|2fast |0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1351668 648 7 1783-1865|2fast 648 7 1775-1865|2fast 650 0 Presidents|zUnited States|vBiography|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh85106470|xHistory and criticism. |0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh99001187 650 0 Biographers|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh85014148|zUnited States.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities /names/n78095330-781 650 7 Presidents.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1075723 650 7 Biographers.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/832107 650 7 History.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/958235 650 7 Historiography.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/958221 651 0 United States|xHistory|yRevolution, 1775-1783 |xHistoriography.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects /sh85140161 651 0 United States|xHistory|y1783-1865|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh85140186|xHistoriography.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh00006046 651 7 United States.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1204155 655 0 Electronic books. 655 4 Electronic books. 655 7 Biographies.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1919896 655 7 History.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411628 655 7 Biographies.|2lcgft|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ genreForms/gf2014026049 700 1 McDonald, Robert M.
