Remember that Thomas Jefferson's "slave" Sally Hemmings accompanied him to Paris where she was free and did not have to return to America with Thomas Jefferson yet she chose to return to America. Is a person who is free who chooses to remain with a "master" really a slave.

Remember that Thomas Jefferson's "slave" Sally Hemmings accompanied him to Paris where she was free and did not have to return to America with Thomas Jefferson yet she chose to return to America. Is a person who is free who chooses to remain with a "master" really a slave.

Selling Hemmings was also his dead wife spitting image because she was her half sister.

Every story you hear about Thomas Jefferson mistreating his quote slave Sally Hemmings needs to be corrected with these facts.

It was all nonsense.
