[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Like Romeo and Juliet, it could be the romance between Thomas Jefferson and Sally Hemmings was probably genuine but was condemned by wider society at the time.

In that way, Jefferson was likely far ahead of his time, was a true believer that love is love unconditionally, and he was actually quite progressive.[/quote]

I hope you're trolling. If you think that the romance between an over 40 year old man and a 14 year old slave child was some new age, ahead of it's time romance, you're being ridiculous at best. There's no period of time where that's acceptable. Much less so when the child is a captive threatened with being sold or killed if she refused him.[/quote]

You have no way of knowing that .[/quote]
Which part? That she was a slave. Or that she was Sallie was Jefferson’s wife’s teenage half-sister who was begat by rape. Or that at the time Jefferson was a worldly over 39 something, cause to 49 year old slave master. [/quote]
