The progressive movement is now transforming Thomas Jefferson from one of the most important people in our nation's history, to a repulsive slave owner. Yes...he did own slaves. Everyone did back then. But what this video doesn't include is how Jefferson treated his slaves. His slaves respected him and loved him. How he wanted to set them free...but he just couldn't financially afford to.
