On this episode of Inspired by History, Nathan Raab explores a letter of Thomas Jefferson from 1783, just months after the Revolutionary War ended, that discusses the Treaty of Paris, the spread of democracy through Europe, and the right of democratic citizens everywhere to bear arms against tyranny. Nathan also delves into the letter’s journey through time, its disappearance from the market and eventual rediscovery, and its significance in the context of Jefferson’s life and the broader democratic movements of the period.
