For example, the Louisiana land purchase case completed during his presidency doubled the territory of the United States at that time. 1962, when President Kennedy hosted 49 Nobel laureates in North America at the White House, he said a very famous sentence: I think this is the most outstanding talent and human knowledge gathered in the history of the White House, except perhaps when Thomas Jefferson dined here alone.
Among Jefferson's many achievements outside the political field, his architectural design is probably the most easily seen by the public. These include the Virginia Capitol, the University of Virginia and so on. Jefferson's architectural style is the American version of neoclassicism, which is called Jefferson-style architecture in the architectural world. The Jefferson Memorial, which was completed in Washington, D.C. from 65438 to 0943, naturally embodies this style. In 20 12, the American Architectural Association selected 150 of the most popular buildings in the United States, and the Jefferson Memorial Hall ranked fourth. Of all the buildings Jefferson designed, perhaps his own Montechero estate was the most painstaking.
Jefferson's father died at 14 years old. He inherited 5000 acres (20 square kilometers) of land, some houses and dozens of slaves from his father. Because he didn't like his father's manor in the valley, at the age of 25, he began to design and build his new house on the top of a hill and named it Monticello (Italian meaning mountain). The construction of this manor lasted for 40 years, and it was not basically completed until the end of his second presidential term (1809). Before that, he had to live in a brick house called Nanting. Bian Xiao is a lazy man who talks nonsense. Remember to pay attention to me or like it. Bian Xiao needs your support!
