    Thomas Jefferson really incorporated republicanism into his political choices and personal life in the early nineteenth century.

    Explanation:

    Thomas Jefferson was born on April 13, 1743 in Albermarle County, Virginia. He succeeded Benjamin Franklin as minister to France in 1785.

    Thomas Jefferson was born on April 13, 1743 in Albermarle County, Virginia. He succeeded Benjamin Franklin as minister to France in 1785. At that time, many political conflicts arose between the Federalists and the Republicans. Jefferson began to repudiate federalist ideologies and gradually took over the leadership of Republicans, who sympathized with the revolutionary cause in France, which Jefferson admired. By attacking federalist policies, he opposed a strong centralized government and defended the rights of states.

    Jefferson identified himself so much with Republican politics that he adopted the concepts even in his personal life.

    Jefferson opposed Federalist. He had a Republican political philosophy. In both, his policy choices and personal life embodied the spirit of Republicanism in the early 1800s. But although his spirit of Republicanism, foreign affairs dominated. These foreign affairs shoved him against his political and personal philosophy toward Federalist policies. The evidence of this could be Jefferson's war (1812) with Barbary pirates in North Africa (this was his plan to protect US ports from foreign invasion).
