"Jefferson's principles are the definitions and axioms of free society", and his words are "a rebuke and a stumbling block to the very harbingers of reappearing tyranny and oppression."
Thus, the anti freedom demonize him. The little perpetuate the malevolence and vitriol against him.
"A fact that went largely unreported was that the DNA test did rule out Thomas Jefferson as the father of Thomas Woodson, the eldest of Hemings' sons..." - http://www.liberty1.org/defense.htm
1/9/2001Scholars Challenge Jefferson-Hemings AllegationsThe National Association of ScholarsA careful, year-long analysis of claims that Thomas Jefferson fathered one or more children of his slave, Sally Hemings, has yielded stunning conclusions. In a stark challenge to earlier reports, all but one of the 13 scholars expressed considerable skepticism about the charge, and some went so far as to express a conviction that it is almost certainly not true."May 21, 2001The Fable of Tom and SallyBy James P. Lucier"According to Insight Magazine, the claim that Thomas Jefferson fathered children with his slave Sally Hemings has been shown to be baseless by a learned group of the nation's most distinguished scholars."
"William Hyland, Jr., talked about his book In Defense of Thomas Jefferson: The Sally Hemmings Sex Scandal (Thomas Dunne Books; June 9, 2009). In his book the former prosecutor argues that Thomas Jefferson did not have an affair with Sally Hemmings nor fathered her child."
"I would at this time only remark that as to the case of the lady there is not a gentleman in the U. States of either party who does not hold in detestation the pitiful propagation of so pitiful a tale." - Letter by Robert Smith to Thomas Jefferson, July 4, 1805
"In Jefferson Vindicated, Cynthia Burton offers convincing evidence for the absolution of Thomas Jefferson’s reputation, character and integrity."
"PBS and The Washington Post had DNA information exonerating Jefferson in their possession when they ran their stories claiming he was the father." [article]

"I should have fancied myself half guilty had I condescended to put pen to paper in refutation of their falsehoods, or drawn them respect by any notice from myself."

ReplyDelete"Since its publication, Dr. Foster has admitted that the evidence presented in his Nature article (1) does not provide conclusive proof that Thomas Jefferson fathered Eston Hemings, the youngest child of Jefferson's slave Sally Hemings (3,4), yet neither Dr. Foster nor Nature will issue a retraction of, or correction to, the article's highly misleading title. This is a serious omission because we rarely attend to the details of what is published, just headlines and sound bites."

ReplyDelete"However, it is the actions of the Thomas Jefferson Memorial Foundation (TJMF) that most astound the authors of this book. The foundation, which maintains Monticello and is supposed to honor the memory of the third president, was if anything even more eager than the press to condemn Jefferson. Its official report, which appeared a little over a year after the Nature article, simply set aside Tom Woodson, fastened upon the inconclusive Eston evidence, and concluded that Jefferson had fathered all six of Hemings’ children."
