Unproven that Thomas Jefferson diddled his slaves. The best DNA can do is say it’s through a male Jefferson line. Thomas Jefferson’s brother Peter was a known ‘diddler’ of slaves so far more likely it was him. This assertion regard TJ became popular when the Arkansas Diddler was in office as a way of excusing his behavior.
That was a parallel scientific revelation and castigation effect for sure. Additionally as the story narrative developed Sally Hemings became the most exclusively single illiterate heroine and historical figure to ever obscure the entire French Revolution retroactively by modern woke revisionists. At least that knowledge is good for a question answered on an advanced placement test or something—not.
Y-you mean there is no proof that TJ diddled his slave? My world is crushed. WTF do we care about HIM for, then?/Sarc
If all the descendents are Peter’s, I don’t think Thomas is off the hook.
