Jefferson, der Überdemokrat, war unter anderem EIGENTÜMER von 187
Sklaven.
Demokrat & Sklavenhalter.
Can you spell H y p o c r a c y, Mr. Jefferson?
Die Verlogenheit der Demokratie ist eben keine Erscheinung der
Neuzeit.
Zitat:
Thomas Jefferson had 187 slaves. We know that because he kept
meticulous hand-written records, which we still have. On January 14,
1774, after he inherited slaves from first his mother and then his
father-in-law, Thomas Jefferson wrote his inventory of 187 slaves. In
his last inventory, taken 50 years later in 1824, Thomas Jefferson
also had 187 slaves. Thomas Jefferson died on July 4, 1826 at the age
of 83.
A page from Thomas Jefferson's Farm Book, which was hand written by
Thomas Jefferson himself. Sally is listed as having three children.
Harriet 1, Madison 5 and Eston 8. Harriet Hemings was born in 1801.
Madison Hemings was born in 1805. Eston Hemings was born in 1808.
Sally's eldest son was Beverley, was born in 1798 and because of his
age had a separate listing in the Farm Book. An earlier child also
named Harriet had died in infancy. Note that according to Thomas
Jefferson's Farm Book, Sally never had a son by the name of Tom.
In October, 1802, while he was president, the story was published in
the newspapers that Thomas Jefferson, whose wife had died in 1782,
was keeping his wife's slave half-sister, Sally Hemings, as a
concubine and was producing children from her. Jefferson, who lived
for 44 years after the death of his wife and who never remarried,
never denied the story, but he never admitted it either. Sally
Hemings was at his bedside when he died. All five children of Sally
Hemings were freed by Thomas Jefferson either before his death or in
his will. Thomas Jefferson made provisions for Sally Hemings in his
will. These were almost the only slaves which Thomas Jefferson ever
freed.
