\u201cDoes Thomas Jefferson still matter?\u201d ask two leading historians on the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence.<\/b><\/p>\n

Thomas Jefferson has been reinvented more than perhaps any American president in history. In the nineteenth century, slavery\u2019s defenders invoked Jefferson\u2019s defense of states\u2019 rights while abolitionists drew on his antislavery writings in support of their cause. After the Civil War, Jefferson\u2019s reputation declined because of his association with secession and disunion, but in the twentieth century, his image soared as he came to embody the democratic values America fought for during World War II.<\/p>\n

Unsurprisingly, Jefferson\u2019s legacy has shifted yet again in the twenty-first century, effectively becoming a partisan talisman\u2014jettisoned by the left as a plantation patriarch and repurposed by the right as an avatar of white nationalism. Dissatisfied with these political caricatures and manic swings, leading Jefferson scholars Peter S. Onuf and Francis D. Cogliano instead situate the founding father in his complicated historical context and reveal how his wisdom can be applied today.<\/p>\n

In a series of three interrelated essays, the authors paint a nuanced portrait. \u201cGenerations\u201d elucidates how Jefferson\u2019s understanding of history shaped his responses to the major problems of his time. \u201cMy Country\u201d delves into how he conceived of the American homeland, and \u201cThe People\u201d unravels how Jefferson articulated a new national identity in the Declaration of Independence.<\/p>\n

Taken together,\u00a0Thomas Jefferson Survives<\/i>\u00a0demonstrates how even amid crisis, Jefferson managed to articulate a capacious and optimistic vision for the future of the American people. As Pulitzer Prize\u2013winning historian Annette Gordon-Reed writes in her foreword, \u201cAs much as Jefferson reflected the often-benighted times in which he lived, he rose above them in ways that have a great deal to tell us about the political straits in which we find ourselves.\u201d After all, Jefferson knew better than anyone that 1776 was an important moment, but not the only moment, for Americans to write a better future.<\/p>\n

\u201cA powerful argument for the continuing importance of Thomas Jefferson in our troubled and turbulent times. These two great scholars of Jeffersonian America, using Jefferson\u2019s belief in generational sovereignty and his utter faith in us, that is, the future generations of American people, have brilliantly described for us the various ways Jefferson still matters.\u201d<\/b>\u2014Gordon Wood, Pulitzer Prize\u2013winning historian and author of\u00a0Friends Divided<\/i><\/p>\n
