How about he launched a navy and a war to bit@h slap moslem barbary pirates and their slave and ransom industry, and he treated Sally Hemmings and her family well.

Guaranteed Jefferson wasn’t out there with a cat o’ 9 tails.

In any case, his mind gave the world the Declaration of Independence, and he doubled the size of the USA and prevented a giant chunk west of the mississippi from being France. He contributed to science with the Lewis and Clark expedition.

His good far outweighs whether or not he had slaves towards the end of a two millenia era of western slavery.

Not to mention the fact that slavery continued (and continues) to be practiced in Africa and the Middle East long after it ceased to exist in the Western world.

All of the BLM/Antifa types who are so outraged by slavery 200 years ago never seem all that upset by slavery when it's practiced today. Evidently, it's not slavery that upsets them, but the fact that it was once practiced by Westerners.
