Free Republic

I guess it is true then that a visit to Monticello does not make you an expert. Have you read any of Thomas Jefferson's writings other than the out-of context-quotes plastered about by every American hack at both ends of the political spectrum?

First of all, Jefferson inherited the debt along with Monticello, and along with the slaves. Jefferson not only freed many of his slaves, he trained and educated them. Of those that stayed, many were business partners in the sharecropper sense at Monticello, receiving guaranteed sales of their goods back to the estate.

Nothing worse than selective history. Please do your homework.

SECURE our borders.
Build the damn FENCE.
ACT before it’s too late!
