After reading the sample chapter describing Jefferson as attractive and verile, I'm going to assume this is a puff piece that likely ignores that he sexually assaulted enslaved girls he owned and that French philosophers of the time found it hypocritical that he did this when writing so much about freedoms. I was not allowed to access the section of Montecello in the samples so I cannot confirm if they mention the constant financial troubles he had due to owning people and The Sunk Cost Fallacy that many slave owners of the time clung to.

There was no hypocrisy and it is incredible that people today can still be as clueless as the French revolutionary critics of the 1700s. The U.S. founding was not an act of universal emancipation, but a project designed solely for the founders and their posterity.
