The modern [[Democratic Party]] claims direct descent from Jefferson -- a minor exaggeration because the Jeffersonian party died in the mid-1820s and the modern party was formed in the 1830s. Jefferson has been commemorated in the names of many counties and schools. Conservative commentator [[George Will]] has called Jefferson the "Man of the Millennium" -- that is the most influential person in world history over the last 1000 years.
