In reading the “Autobiography of Thomas Jefferson,” he encountered many obstacles in becoming as well known in history as he is today. Jefferson was born in 1743 on April 13 in Virginia, where he became a representative along with his relative later in life. Jefferson always seemed to have an eye for politics since he went to college in Williamsburg. Jefferson had great faith in what he knew should happen and was truly an observer, which is why he became a lawyer and soon after elected to the House of Burgesses in the late 1700s. Subsequently, conflicts took place in his life, such as the Declaration of Independence, while he was governor, and between him and Hamilton, Thomas Jefferson was one who stood by what was right and disagreed with what was wrong. Although he didn't have much choice to stand up for what he believed in until he had to take over from his cousin who was supposed to represent Virginia. It was as if when his cousin didn't show up it was as a backup in representing Virginia or as a political second choice. The people knew that if his cousin Randolph was not present in an important scene, then Jefferson would be available in his place to notice and represent the people and what is best. Thomas Jefferson could have easily taken his Randolph's place within Congress because their opinions and way they proceeded were similar, which is why he was chosen to take a stand, which he did. But for Jefferson it was not an exciting event because, although he knew the task of representing, he probably would have liked it better if another delegate did it for him. The reason he had to take Randolph's place is because his cousin had just been selected for the presidency of the House of Burgesses which is... middle of paper... rson and Hamilton was out for each other politically and nothing would would change. Not even giving up or retreating from his position, which Jefferson was trying to do but reconsidered because he didn't want to give it up to Hamilton, was for him a form of giving up or not caring. But soon after, as the years passed, Jefferson left his position and returned home again for good and said to leave politics alone as said before. In conclusion, Jefferson was a man who stood for something but at some point took care of everything. of sight. But just like any other person, Jefferson encountered interactions and conflicts throughout life to continue to do what is best. Jefferson ironically didn't agree with the conflicts or even being involved in them, but at least he was on the good side and wanted what was best for Virginia, his family, the people and the citizens..
