Answer:

He was an eloquent writer and supported American independence.

Step-by-step explanation:

Jefferson kept his significant position in authoring the defining text of the American Revolution and, indeed, of the United States. Jefferson criticized the document's revisions, notably the deletion of a large passage blaming King George III for the slave trade. Jefferson was rightfully proud of his part in authoring the Declaration of Independence and effectively defended it.
