No need to post this twice, Bodleian_Girl, I saw it the first time. I get it, you believe. I highly doubt it for reasons of my own, or perhaps I’m just in thrall to the Slave Power™ and am racist. /s
My apologies, it’s been a busy thread.
I personally don’t equate this issue with racism. Most of the children were so white, they moved into the white community.
I think history is important and to me, it doesn’t lower or raise my opinion of Thomas Jefferson.
At the end of the day he was a young man with a dead wife and a slave sleeping just feet from him who looked like his wife.
I’m not saying it was the right thing to do, but what’s done is done and I think it’s interesting to contemplate.
