      Dan McLaughlin Retweeted Josh Robin

      Jefferson wrote the first federal ban on slavery (in the Northwest Territory; his words were later incorporated in the 13th Amendment) & signed into law the end of the slave trade. His record on slavery was hardly one-sided.https://twitter.com/joshrobin/status/1273744246747643904 …

      Dan McLaughlin added,

      Josh RobinVerified account @joshrobin
      Speaker of NYC Council and other council members calling for removal of Thomas Jefferson statue from chambers in City Hall. “The statue of this well-known slave owner is a reminder of the injustices that have plagued communities of color since the inception of our country.”

      Jefferson was a terrible hypocrite with a really complicated legacy on many issues, & he left us a lot of mischief. But he did so many great things, & he's essential to the American Founding.

          I think people have to start seeing the difference between having a statue or monument that honors someone for good work despite other bad deeds in their life, as opposed to honoring someone for the bad deeds.

          The great cleansing. Wait till they find out FDR interred Asian Americans based only on race.

          He was very bad at managing his finances. Washington had legal issues, too, because most of the slaves belonged to Martha. But then, they were not powerless over the law.

          100% correct. Complex, contradictory, imperfect, and essential, both in his own time and for centuries after. If only we could all be so great.

          But, but, they were only coming for the Confederate statuses, that is what all the GOP writers were saying. I'm so confused.

          An overwhelming majority of NYC residents no longer wish to honor Jefferson in this way. That is sufficient reason to remove the statue. No one is arguing for purging his name from history textbooks.
