Six
Historic Americans
John Remsburg's 1906 book examines half a dozen important American
freethinkers (Thomas Paine, Thomas Jefferson, George Washington, Benjamin
Franklin, Abraham Lincoln, and U.S. Grant).
The Constitution
Society
A seemingly bottomless resource for primary sources.
The
American Colonist's Library
Self-described as "a massive collection of the literature and documents
which were most relevant to the colonists' lives in America. If it isn't
here, it probably is not available online anywhere." While the latter boast
isn't quite true, the site is an invaluable--and, like the Constitution
Society--seemingly bottomless resource.
Thomas Jefferson
One of everyone's favorite classical liberals.

Jefferson Sites by Eyler Robert Coates, Sr.
When it comes to Jefferson, the late Mr. Coates was the Grandmaster
of layman scholars on the internet. He's no longer with us, but, fortunately
for all of us, his work remains. We've preserved his own descriptions of
his various sites below.
Thomas
Jefferson on Politics & Government
"Over 2,700 excerpts from Jefferson's writings arranged under 56 subjects
provide a complete outline of Jefferson's political philosophy and explain
the founding principles of American self-government."
The Jefferson
Bible
"Jefferson separated the ethical teachings of Jesus from the religious
dogma and other supernatural elements that are part of the Gospel accounts.
This site presents Jefferson's selection and arrangement of the texts in
a 'corrected' King James Version."
Rayner's Life
of Jefferson
"A completely revised and corrected edition of B. L. Rayner's biography,
published originally in 1834, that emphasizes the role of republican principles
in Jefferson's life and thought. It contains many excerpts from Jefferson's
writings, as well as anecdotes taken from the writings of those who knew
Jefferson."

Jefferson on Religious Freedom
"A complete copy of Jefferson's Bill for Establishing Religious Freedom
in the State of Virginia, with a comparison to the Act as passed by the
Virginia Legislature."
