Briefly, two things: (1) influence over others, especially through his voluminous correspondence. Madison and Monroe were his "disciples." He became the "Sage of Monticello," the philosopher of republicanism and American self-government, all set forth in his letters. (2) establishing the University of Virginia and serving as its first rector. You might find the final chapters of the following on-line book useful: Life of Thomas Jefferson, by B. L.
