Seems only only one of Sally’s children were fathered by a Jefferson and Sally was Thomas Jefferson’s wife’s servant. I imagine here quarters were close to Jefferson and his wife’s quarters.
That’s the correct reason, but not the one the media wants to push.
So, let me get this straight. We shut down sites that commemorate our confederate generals. We denounce the Civil War, from the Southern side in general, but let’s celebrate, once again the White Man who takes advantage of a black slave.
In short, that’s the only piece of history fed to students regarding our second president.
Sally herself was very light skinned. In the 1830 census, she, and two sons, living with her at the time, were listed as white.
We visited Monticello last March. 99% of the theme was the “enslaved people” who were treated so terribly that they were sent to Paris to learn the culinary arts. Many of these “oppressed people” were dining off of fine bone china and even owned their own sets. I was appalled at the total revisionist narrative and lib spin.
As you read the placards of the actual history, the tour guides were telling you something completely different. Kind of like today’s mainstream media!
Jefferson is too freedom loving and pro 2A for the left. This piece of lore will be used to diminish him. When they get done it will be like that picture of Stalin with a person air brushed out.
Sally Hemings was 9 years old at the time of Martha Jefferson’s death. Martha Jefferson’s father (John Wayles) was also the father of Sally Hemings. That made Sally Mrs. Jefferson’s half sister.
This is the “pick the racial scab story du jour”...
She also was something like 7/8 white and looked just like Martha Jefferson’s twin.
During my time a The University, it was said that Mr. Jefferson transferred his love from his deceased wife, Martha, to Sally.
Also, Martha Randolph Jefferson, Mr. Jefferson’s daughter, acted as First Lady during his service as POTUS, so Ivanka’s role has historic precedent.
Thanks
Ha! Movin’ on up.
Certainly? He 'certainly knew'? From where do you draw that conclusion, I'm curious to know.
There have been several other Presidents for whom a female relative, rather than a wife, filled this role.
Yes, since the 90s, the race hustlers have been picking at the healed wounds of the Civil War, attacking flags and Honoured Foe.
Today, no lie is large enough. Anything to promote reparations, Black supremacy and the denigration of our Founding Fathers.
We are at war and it is time to take a stand, turn the tide and drive these assholes from our society.
Sorry, just too many fairy tales.
When I visited, they had wood huts where the slaves lived.
LOL!!!
Does Monticello have an East Side?!
Written source material, archeological evidence. IIRC, Monticello is privately owned and operated. The NPS, for better or worse, has nothing to do with it. We were there a couple of years ago, booked one of the in depth tours. It was very good, thorough, detailed. We were actually surprised at the lack of PC.
The article stated that the location was described by Jefferson’s grandson. Thomas Jefferson Randolph had a part in settling the $100,000 debt that was outstanding when his grandfather died.
