        The process was an ordeal. The guy was careless, and TJ almost suffocated.

        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. 😔

        Trump would be his worst nightmare. How do you keep a demagogue out of a republic? The voter had to be honorable and diligent in voting; the representative equally honorable and diligent in speaking for the electorate. Jefferson personally believed public education imperative.

        @pilatesbythesea Thought I’d add that during the new republic there was a surge in public schools. They began the custom of spinsters teaching school (there were fewer men after the war), and it was hoped they’d teach their young charges to be responsible citizens & voters.

        As a history undergrad, I always wondered if life could get worse after Nixon. Of course, life never disappoints to now. Mr. Jefferson, not a perfect man, Happy Birthday nonetheless. In my room of history dream, what would you say about DJT? The fight for our democracy continues.
