Whether you believe they're back out that way it's irrelevant. The fact is a lot of you been taught a white washed version of history. Especially in the south.

She choose to come to America - In 1787 Sally Hemings arrived Paris at age of 14. She spent two years there. It was there she met Jefferson. who was serving a Minister of France. When she came to America she was 16. Jefferson was 44. Taboo for this day and age but woman and men were considered grown at 16 during this time. This is the same article the Washington Post sited. Montecello.org They just excluded this part for a better read. Jefferson was not a rapist. While in Paris, where she was free, she negotiated with Jefferson to return to enslavement at Monticello in exchange for “extraordinary privileges” for herself and freedom for her unborn children. Decades later, Jefferson freed all of Sally Hemings’s children 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
