The implication that Jefferson would have been sympathetic to secession is quite false. He denounced secession as treason.

He denounced secession as treason. Got a source for that?

I didn’t know Jefferson “Bore six children”. Stopped right there.

Read more carefully. "It is now accepted as a fact that one of the preeminent Founding Fathers, Thomas Jefferson – the Apostle of Liberty and Reason – engaged in an illicit sexual relationship with one of his slaves, Sally Hemings, by whom he bore up to six children."
One of us should.

I was referring to Jefferson’s reaction to the Burr Western plot and the reaction of the Virginia Dynasty (Jefferson, Madison, and Monroe) to the secession talk during the War of 1812.
