Thomas Gallatin Bio

Thomas Gallatin is the son of American missionaries. Growing up overseas, he became aware from an early age of the unique privilege he enjoyed as an American citizen. Having lived in two different foreign countries that were both drastically impacted by communism, he learned early the devastating consequences that leftist ideology had upon freedom and human flourishing. As a result, he has spent much of his adult life seeking to shine the light of truth against this evil ideology while espousing the virtues of Liberty as both a history teacher and now a staff analyst at The Patriot Post.
