Thomas Jefferson (1743-1826) was the third President of the United States and often credited as the author of the Declaration of Independence, though key portions of that document were simply taken from the Virginia Declaration of Rights.
Jefferson was a prominent architect, inventor and scientist. His presidency had significant failures, and is best known for doubling the area of the United States with the controversial Louisiana Purchase from France.
Though Jefferson did not describe his beliefs in that manner, many historians beleive him to have been a deist.[1]
