      Thomas Jefferson, for decades, forced dozens of enslaved young children to work from sunup to sundown in his nail factory.

          Slavery was legal but it was far from acceptable. There's a reason most Northern states moved to abolish it after the American Revolution.

          Jefferson wrote in his notes on the State of Virginia that free black people could not co-exist with white society. Doubt I'll ever top that

          Jefferson was prez from 1801-1809 Jefferson should've known about Haiti's revolution that ended on his first term 1804. He did nothing good
