dc.descriptionSubmission to the Friends of Fondren Library Research Awards, 2018.

dc.description.abstractThis paper explores the complex relationship Thomas Jefferson had with the large debt he died with. The traditional understanding of Jefferson’s financial disarray attributes the debt to his inheritance and poor spending habits, but when looking at the debt through the lens of America in 1800, the problem is much more complex. Rather than just attributing it to his personality, Jefferson’s debt was more the result of the age in which he lived in and the newly established positions he held.
