Best Answer

Thomas Jefferson was remembered for three achievements in his public life. He had served as governor of Virginia, as U.S. minister to France, as secretary of state under George Washington, as vice-president in the administration of John Adams, and as President of the United States from 1801 to 1809. On his tombstone, however, which he designed and for which he wrote the inscription, there is no mention of these offices. Rather, it reads that Thomas Jefferson was "author of the Declaration of American Independence, of the Statute of Virginia for religious freedom, and Father of the University of Virginia" and, as he requested, "not a word more." Historians might want to add other accomplishments--for example, his distinction as an architect, naturalist, and linguist--but in the main they would concur with his own assessment.

he worked as a lawyer and a planter before becoming the president and then died in 1826 a hero

He didn't do very much as VP. However, he did write a manual on legislative procedure, and he did write the Kentucky Resolutions in opposition to the Sedition Acts.
