[17th Miss Regt]

a Jefferson’s ground sloth,

So not only did Jefferson own and oppress black slaves to his eternal disgrace, he was OWNING AND OPPRESSING GROUND SLOTHS AS WELL! That bastard! How can we honor someone who owned and oppressed ground sloths?

[Verginius Rufus]

Snowmass Village is west of the Continental Divide, so this was not part of the US in Jefferson's lifetime. Jefferson's ground sloth knew it had to get beyond the borders of the US to be free.

An untold dark chapter of Jefferson's stroy--his oppression of ground sloths. Of course what may have caused the little guy to flee to Colorado was hearing preachers preach against sloth.
