Before Jefferson Wrote the Declaration, He Won His Wife with a Violin...

I've been writing about Jefferson's systematic methodology for months. But sometimes you need to see the human being behind the system.

Today on X, I have launched a new series of short stories about Jefferson that you've never heard. Starting with the night two lawyers walked out of Martha Wayles' parlor, knowing they'd lost to a man with a violin.

This isn't about the Founding Father. It's about a 27-year-old awkward redhead who practiced violin three hours a day since age nine, not knowing it would win him the love that would define his life.

The systematic mind that created American democracy? It started with understanding that music is mathematics made beautiful.

The series is called “Jefferson X Storied. You can find the first story today on X: https://x.com/realjefferson7/status/1953434134082146694

The Real Jefferson continues here on Substack with our monthly deep dives. These X stories are the human moments between the philosophy.
