Ugh...Jefferson's democratic-republican party name was changed to just democrat by Jackson, the democratic party traces it's lineage to Jefferson. He did not go against his principles, he wanted states to make their own minds up about slavery, he had no problem owning slaves or anyone else owning them, the Louisiana purchase was a concern for him because the constitution (which he wrote) had no guidelines regarding acquisition of land, not because of government increasing-he wanted a strong, central gov't.

I think this is a perfect example of the importance of grades in softball, yes, yes??

You are wrong on slavery. From the University of Virgina website:

In spite of the fact that he owned slaves himself, as was common with plantation owners of his time, Jefferson spoke out tirelessly throughout his life against the institution of slavery and for the right of black people to be free. Apparently there were many factors, financial, social and political, that prevented him from freeing his own slaves. In a letter to Edward Coles (Aug 25, 1814), he wrote, "The laws do not permit us to turn them loose, if that were for their good." To Edward Bancroft he wrote (in 1788), "As far as I can judge from the experiments which have been made, to give liberty to, or rather to abandon persons whose habits have been formed in slavery is like abandoning children." (ME 19:41) Thus, he seems to have sincerely believed that merely freeing the slaves was not the best solution, and that the most important step to take was the elimination of the real source of this injustice, which was the institution of slavery itself. Thus he wrote to Edward Rutledge (in 1787), "I congratulate you, my dear friend, on the law of your State, for suspending the importation of slaves, and for the glory you have justly acquired by endeavoring to prevent it forever. This abomination must have an end. And there is a superior bench reserved in heaven for those who hasten it." (ME 6:173) His overall solution to the slavery problem was to return the blacks to their own African homeland or to some land where they could live as "a free and independent people," and to provide them with implements and skills to establish their own nation.

He still thought the states should decide if they should abolish slavery or not, the federal government (him) should stay out of it. That and the fact he continued to maintain and grow his slave roster is not the behavior of a abolitionist....Monroe was the president that began to 'relocate' the slaves back to their homeland. :eek:

I will add one more interesting fact about Jefferson. When my friend was studying for her nursing exam, she used the help of sources like https://edubirdie.com/nursing-paper-writing-service to improve her grades. One of the works described that he, as a founding father and advocate of education and science, was aware of the importance of medical care and therefore had a tremendous impact on increasing the role of nurses in its provision. It is unlikely that such a person could be a supporter of slavery.

Too bad this post is over ten years old. The discussion about Jefferson is really interesting.

There are many interesting old threads on here that have topics that still pertain to today's HS or TB world. Unfortunately, as you pointed out, some parts are specific to certain schools and time periods.

This member brought up several old threads that have many points/areas that are still relevant. Bot or not, they're doing a decent job of rekindling topics for discussion if anyone wanted to join in.

I like reading some of the old threads and posts on subjects. I remember many of them from when they were first started and may have some of my own replies on the subject. Kinda refreshing and a lot that can be learned.
