Thomas Jefferson as President

" Thomas Jerfferson first term as president was so succesful that he overwhelmingly won reelection in 1804. His second term in contrast was marked by frutration and failure. Dicuss the achievement of Jefferson first term and the problems that beset his second term."

K....another essay....What I need help with is my conclusion and my body.....hell I need help with everything.....

Any info about his succeful first term would be apreciated....
-I have that he improved economy...well his secretary of treasury Albert Gallatin....did
-And his land purchases. (lousianna, west florida)

Any help for his terrible 2nd term....is also appreciated.....
-I have Embargo Acts.
-And the neutrality. ....

For my Conclusion...(the "So What" paragraph)
-I have that the Embargo acts paved the way for industrialization....

I think I need more....so if anybody can help lend more information about Jefferson's 1st and 2nd term as president.....I am grateful to you :)

Is this Intro a terrible intro....

"In the election of 1800 Thomas Jefferson was pitted against John Adams for the presidential race. However, Jefferson came to be the victor with 73 electoral votes, against Adam’s 65. Jefferson’s first term as president included the acquiring of the Louisiana Purchase, reorganization of the economy, ending federalist reign, and pardoning those who served under the Sedition Acts. However his second term, in contrast to his first term, was a failure. Jefferson declared America as neutral during European conflicts, which brought forth the Embargo Acts that lowered the nations economy. Even though Jefferson was despised at the end of his terms America would not have doubled in size without Jefferson’s contributions."

not bad, my only insight is that because you stated all about his first term in your intro, u cant use it in the body. You could make a good first paragraph out of it. And id recomend making your thesis into a three pronged thesis. (ie. Opinion, reason 1, reason 2, reason 3.)
