    But they would know Thomas Jefferson? If I were tasked to choose the most famous U.S. political figures, I might have chosen Washington or Lincoln…

      I’m not from Brazil but from Germany and out of all the U.S. founding fathers Washington, Franklin and Jefferson were the ones I had heard of. Lincoln also, but he is not one of them, is he?

        No, Lincoln wasn’t a founding father. He was just a famous president who came later.

        Lincoln is famous because he was the president during the US civil war and abolished slavery. This happened a century after us independence/founding.
