An Imperfect God by Henry Wiencek

Among his "imperfect gods", Henry Welker agreed that Washington is the first true president to set a precedent for African-American slavery liberation. Wiencek looked into the evil paradox about how he thought and promised a statement of equality on the principle of freedom that had been a slavery for over 70 years since the country was founded. Washington's magnificent mansion at Mount Vernon's summit maintained more than 300 slaves, 126 of whom were owned by Washington.

In 2012, a highly critical writer for Jefferson Henry Welker tried to protect his legacy as a founder by concealing Jefferson his work on slavery and abolishment of Monticello visitors I concluded. According to Wiencek, Jefferson opened a new way to conceal coaches and slaves working on the farm for his Monticello mansion. Wiencek considers Jefferson's "soft answer" to the abolitionists to show themselves to oppose slavery. Wiencek told Jefferson that there is enormous political power, but "accelerate the abolition of slavery during the term of office as a diplomat, secretary of state, vice president and two presidents, or as President I did not do anything for it. "

Contrary to Mr. Wiencek's explanation, Jefferson is always working hard on slavery and further hates the welfare of blacks, slaves, or freedom. His propaganda was influenced not only by money and status but also by his deep racist who tried to prove through his false science. Regarding Jefferson, there is indeed an amazing paradox: when he wrote the "Declaration of Independence" and declared the "self-evident" truth that everyone was "equally created", he has about 175 slaves It had. In many cases, scholars and readers use these facts as crutches, Jefferson is a product of time, I think that the inconvenience of human conditional complexity is a concern.

But Jefferson's stars may disappear. Because his slave has history, Democrats are erasing his name from political dinners. Abraham Lincoln, a president who almost likes everyone, "I do not like Thomas Jefferson," Professor Gettysburg said this summer. After an independent historian Henry Wiencek published a controversial book criticizing Virginians in 2012, the New York Times called Jefferson a "monster cello monster". The latest knock of Jefferson 's reputation appeared in Musical "Hamilton" of Lynn - Manuel Miranda.
