About me
I was the main author of the Declaration of Independence and became the third President. I doubled the country's size with the Louisiana Purchase and sent Lewis and Clark west.
Fun fact!
I doubled the size of the United States with the Louisiana Purchase in 1803 — for about 3 cents an acre!
