Brilliant but flawed and a product of his time & place.

Yeah some of his behavior is so reprehensible by today's standards, but not so for his time. It can be hard to imagine a time when it was ok to own another person.

He knew slavery was wrong and worked to end it—elsewhere. Yet on his mountain top he didn’t have the strength of character to rise above his own comfort & love of fine living to stop enslaving those who made it possible.
