Thomas Jefferson was the 3rd president of the United States, from 1801-1809. One of the authors of The Declaration of Independance, he also made the arrangement for The Louisiana Purchase, therefore doubling the size of the US during his presidency. The Act "Prohibiting Importation of Slaves" taking effect on Jan 1, 1808, where no new slaves were permitted to be brought into the US was made possible because of a message he sent to Congress back in 1806 and signed into law in 1807. Jefferson died on July 4th, 1826, the same day as the 50th anniversary of the Declaration of Independance.

John Adams, the 2nd US president, served from 1797-1801. After defending British soldiers accused of killing colonists during the Boston Massacre he went on to France in 1778 and again in 1782 to help create The Treaty of Paris with Benjamin Franklin and John Jay which ended the American Revolution. During his presidency, he was the first to reside in the mansion, now known as the White House.

April 16th 1947 Bernard Baruch coins the term “Cold War”

Multimillionaire Bernard Baruch, in a speech given during the unveiling of his portrait in the S.C. House of Representatives, coins the term “Cold War” to describe relations between the US and the Soviet Union. The phrase stuck, and for over 40 years it was the language of American diplomacy. Baruch served as an advisor to presidents on economic and foreign policy issues since the days of Woodrow Wilson. In 1919, he was one of the U.S. advisers at the Paris Peace Conference that ended World War I. During the 1930s, he frequently advised Franklin D. Roosevelt and members of Congress on international finance and issues of neutrality. After World War II, he remained a trusted adviser to the new administration of Harry S. Truman. His speech, however, was given in a completely different context. Baruch launched into an attack on the industrial labor problems in the country. He called for longer workweeks, no-strike pledges from unions, and no-layoff pledges from management. It was imperative that American business and industry pull itself together, Baruch warned. “Let us not be deceived—we are today in the midst of a cold war. Our enemies are to be found abroad and at home. Let us never forget this: Our unrest is the heart of their success. The peace of the world is the hope and the goal of our political system; it is the despair and defeat of those who stand against us. We can depend only on ourselves.”The term “Cold War” was instantly embraced by American newspapers and magazines as an apt description of the situation between the United States and the Soviet Union: a war without fighting or bloodshed, but a battle nonetheless.
