Wow, someone’s touchy.
My esteem for Jefferson has gone down considerably over the years, but I’m glad to see someone still runs his fan club.
I think his owning slaves gels perfectly with his Indian Removal Act and disdain for women’s suffrage.
Let’s not make these men into gods.
As time goes by I’ve found myself liking Adams more and Jefferson less. Adams’ mother in law gave him a slave as a wedding present. He promptly freed the man. She was not amused.
Make them into gods? Certainly not. But if you don't see the The Hand of God in Jefferson and Adams both dying on the 50th anniversary of The Declaration, and the implications thereof then I don't know what else to say to you. Indeed it would be a waste of my time.
“My esteem for Jefferson has gone down considerably over the years,”
Many communists and fascists agree with you.
“I think his owning slaves gels perfectly with his Indian Removal Act and disdain for women’s suffrage.’
Lincoln felt the same, not to mention his idea of shipping black people back to Africa. How do you feel about Lincoln?
Let’s go on and talk about Woodrow “KKK” Wilson.
Did you like him?
Hell, let’s do FDR. Hangings of black citizens all over the US. Were you comfortable with FDR ignoring all the lynchings?
The problem I have with you goosestepping Jefferson haters is that you forgive all the liberals and never criticize them.
Personally, I think you’re a bunch of America-hating trolls.
