Jefferson's Advice to a Greek Patriot on Revolutions and Nation-Building (1W, 5 Q #75) 

Two years into the Greek Revolutionary War (begun 1821), Ademantios Korais writes Thomas Jefferson for advice about success in a revolution, liberty, and nation-building. Jefferson, though 80, writes a long letter and shares what he has learned from his several decades in the fight for liberty for his young nation. Why does Korais choose Jefferson? Just what advice does Jefferson give the Greek polyglot? Donna V and Dr H aim to answer those and other pertinent questions. ENOY!
