I want to write a research paper on Thomas Jefferson but im completely clueless at this moment?

For the research paper i need to answer a question. For example: How did Thomas Jefferson influenced society?





That is way too vague.





Can anyone give me suggestions?

With the Declaration of Independence safely signed, the apocalyptic literature of the early nineteenth century gave way to the softer comforts of New Age spirituality. Although Thomas Jefferson's Notes on the State of Virginia seem quite mild, even reticent, in its use of apocalyptic metaphors, his enlightened philosophy certainly had some rather quirky apocalyptic influences. The copy of Alexander Smyth's An Explanation of the Apocalypse, for example, was presented directly to Jefferson by its author. Jefferson was also familiar with the speculations of the visionary Emanuel Swedenborg, and actually invited Swedenborgians to deliver addresses before Congress. Johnny Appleseed also took Swedenborg directly to the American people, spreading "the news straight from Heaven" from Vermont to Ohio. The followers of the English prophetess Ann Lee, often known as Shakers, claimed that Jefferson had approved the theological views of Benjamin Seth Youngs' Testimony of Christ's Second Appearing.
Reply:Maybe... What are some changes he brought about? How did he influence society?





Was it politically, socially, economically or all of the above? And then break your essay outline into how he did those.
