Ha! That great "patriot" Jefferson! What did he do?? Just run away as the British approached Monticello! Coward! Your Governor is a COWARD!!
signed, No Fool in NY!
Your screenname is very deceptive as there is NO bigger fool than you in all of this young country!
Of course Jefferson fled...It was prudent as no one knew better than he that at the request of General Washington, he had sent the state's militia to the aid of the American army.
The militia were north with Washington that spring or farther south, in the Carolinas!
Who could think that that "genius" Cornwallis would invade Virginia before securing his northern and southern bases!
