Bigots. Democrats attack Jefferson who freed his slaves.

Perhaps they can celebrate their bigotted hero Calhoun.

Waiting for one of these Communist protests to be held to demand that Robert Sheets Byrd’s name (D-KKK) be removed from at least ONE public or private entity.

The silence is deafening.

The issue is never the issue.

Jefferson did not free his slaves, at least he didn’t free the bulk of them. Jefferson owned close to 700 slaves over his life time. He freed only 10 of them. Five were freed while he was alive and the other five were freed, per his will, after his death. The remaining slaves at Monticello and the other Jefferson estates were sold shortly after his death to pay off his debts.
