Jefferson was a writer, philosopher, and the third U.S President. During his presidency, he oversaw the Louisiana Purchase, which doubled the size of the United States, and established the Lewis and Clark Expedition to explore the new territory. Jefferson also signed the Embargo Act of 1807, which aimed to protect American ships from seizure by foreign powers but also hurt American trade. His legacy includes his contributions to the Declaration of Independence, his advocacy for limited government and individual liberty, and his efforts to expand the United States' territorial boundaries.
