President Thomas Jefferson
Mr. Jefferson is a two-term president. In 1803 President Jefferson made the Louisiana Purchase. It cost $15,000,000. He is our third president.
I would like to say, "Thank You, Mr. Jefferson, Mr. Lewis and Mr. Clark for buying and exploring the Louisiana Territory.
P.S. I wish I could have come with you!
