Jefferson lived in the reality of his time.
And he died in heavy debt.
The reality of his situation just doesn’t support the narrative of the slaving owning rich entitled white guy the SJW’s are trying to paint.
Everyone lives in the reality of their own time. But the reason we so greatly honor Jefferson, was he understood truths that are timeless. Jefferson was truly a man for the ages! His detractors are either intentionally seeking to war on reality, or unable to accept reality for whatever reason.
Here for example is how Jefferson succinctly explained a welfare system (safety net), which unlike everything in America since FDR, actually worked for social benefit:
yes he lived in the reality of his time. He sold 71 slaves in the 1780 and 90s to pay off debt. When Jefferson died, within a few months, all of the Jefferson estate,s slaves were sold to satisfy the debts that Jefferson had outstanding at the time of his death.
