Understanding Jefferson helps us understand both the ideals…and the contradictions…at the core of the American experiment. Jefferson helped define the most important values most Americans hold dearly today. Even today, these ideals are often quoted by folks on all sides of the political spectrum. He was a champion of the Enlightenment and scientific progress during a time when faith, dogma, and superstition still dominated. In other words, Jefferson’s actions may have aged like milk, but his words aged like the fine wine he used to love drinking so much.
