Jefferson viewed the presidential election of 1800, which won him the presidency, as a second American Revolution.
That it was not effected by the sword, but by the rational and peaceable instrument of reform, the suffrage of the people.
The nation declared it's will by dismissing functionaries of one principle, and electing those of another in the two branches, executive and legislative.
(Thomas Jefferson to Spencer Roane, September 6, 1819, Manuscript letter from www.loc.gov/exhibits/jefferson/jefffed.html)
