Leftist historians are akin to flat earth scientists.
Meh, he was widowed, never remarried. And it’s well documented she went to Paris with him during his time there. She could have stayed in Paris free, but decided to return to Monticello with Jefferson. By all accounts she was 3/4 white younger than him and attractive. She learned French also.
Nothing really weird about it, and I can’t see how it trashes him. And it fits in with his wildly curious, rebellious and iconoclastic nature.
No big deal except at Stormfront maybe.
The Sally Hemmings lies are disgusting beyond belief. Leftists have poisoned Monticello with the lies, which Trump needs to immediately dismantle.
She was an illiterate and her fame retroactively surpasses the French Revolution era which needs to be studied. No Antony and Cleopatra level attainment levels are ever reached, I believe.
Jefferson is a sinner, like all of us.
I generally think the preponderance of evidence is that Hemings and Jefferson had relations.
I think what matters in this case is whether he lived up to his responsibilities as husband and father. I’m presuming their relations were closer to being husband and wife, as opposed to master and slave, when I say this.
My understanding is that all Jefferson males had an anomalous characteristic on the Y chromosome that is infallibly passed from father to son. Obviously, it cannot be passed from father to daughter because only male children have a Y chromosome.
Therefore we know nothing one way or the other from DNA about the paternity of any Hemmings female child and her descendants. We know nothing one way or the other from DNA about the paternity of any Hemmings male child if the line of descent is broken by a female.
We are left with two known entirely male-line descendants of Hemmings.
The first of them DOES NOT have the Y chromosome anomaly and therefore there is no male Jefferson ancestor in that line anywhere along the way. Therefore this male line descendant proves that no Jefferson fathered any male in that line whether through Hemmings or subsequently through one of her female descendants.
The second known male-line descendant of Hemmings DOES have the Y chromosome anomaly and so therefore has some male Jefferson as an ancestor somewhere along the line. But it does NOT prove that Thomas Jefferson himself was the male Jefferson ancestor as any other male Jefferson could be responsible for the Y chromosome anomaly. There are plenty of candidates for the other male Jefferson supplying the Y chromosome anomaly.
