- For Thomas Jefferson, Philadelphia was-like many other Founding Fathers-an important city. It is where he penned the Declaration of Independence, and where he and his counterparts pushed forward a revolution that would change the world. Yet, his time in the city that was arguably the financial and cultural center of the British North American colonies began far earlier.
Join us Tuesday, June 20, at 1:00 pm ET for a live Q&A with Thomas Jefferson, interpreted by Bill Barker. He will reflect on his travels to and experiences in Revolutionary Philadelphia. - Розваги
I'm from Philadelphia. Born and raised there and lived there until more recent retirement when we moved to the mountains. I worked for the govt. on Independence Mall and often at my lunch on Independence Mall. I adore history so much it's what I have my degree in. I would often just walk and look around and imagine what it was like then and those who walked there.
Will you be in Williamsburg over the 4th for Independence Day? When will you be in Monticello?
I'm planning a visit to both over that week. When I visited Philadelphia I searched out the addresses where you stayed. What a delightful city!
I wrote my masters thesis on the British occupation of Philadelphia so learned a lot about Meschianza.
I love the independence hall, I would love to visit Philadelphia someday. Thank you Mr. Jefferson for your lovely and interesting conversation with us! I always enjoy listening to your talks, I’m very blessed to be here hearing you talking! 😊❤️
Hello from Oregon. My home town was Philafelphia😊

Hello and I’m happy to hear you’re feeling better, President Jefferson!!!!!
I always enjoy these very interesting and informative talks. I've been to Philadelphia and stayed at the B & B across from the City Tavern where we ate one evening. Old Philly is an amazing place to visit; it's full of history and authenic buildings. We want to go back there sometime.
a old one too
Why are there 46 states and 4 Commonwealths? We were told 50 States in the Union. Words matter. Contracts, law, medicine. Words matter. Commonwealth of Pennsylvania? Mass? VA? Kentucky?
Google it for the legal details.

Jefferson beat his horse so savagely in Phila., the people were horrified. awful.
"Thomas Jefferson enslaved over 600 human beings throughout the course of his life. 400 people were enslaved at Monticello; the other 200 people were held in bondage on Jefferson's other properties. At any given time, around 130 people were enslaved at Monticello."
