Thomas Jefferson was the third president of the United States. He served two terms in office, from 1801 to 1809. Jefferson dealt with two major challenges to US authority: piracy along the Barbary Coast of North Africa, and British impressment, which resulted in Jefferson instating a mass embargo of European goods, the Embargo Act of 1807.
Jefferson fully embraced the lifestyle of an affluent member of the planter class, and over the course of his lifetime he owned over 600 enslaved people—the most of any American president. In addition to building and managing his Monticello plantation, Jefferson pursued careers in law and public service.
