    Thomas Jefferson's first term as president was mostly successful. He reduced taxes and military spending and allowed the Alien and Sedition Acts to expire. However, his second term faced more challenges with foreign affairs as Britain and France pulled the U.S. into their conflict. Jefferson enacted the Embargo Act to hurt both countries economically, but it ended up damaging the U.S. economy instead. Jefferson also oversaw the Louisiana Purchase, doubling the size of the country, and the Lewis and Clark Expedition to explore the new territory.
