      You’re very welcome! Just a warning though- people interpret Jefferson in a lot of different ways.

    At 10:34 I mentioned a quote that was attributed to a C.F.W. Malone when actually, as far as I know, this individual did not exist. I got the attribution from the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy, so they are to blame for the mistake.
    A Jefferson researcher has reached out to me and pointed out something interesting. They concluded that this quotation actually comes from a letter written to James Madison dated September 6th 1789. The attribution coming from Stanford could have been a mix up composing of the names of Dumas Malone (a distinguished 20th century American Historian who wrote a six-volume biography of Jefferson) and C.W.F. Dumas (a man of Jefferson's time and who received letters from Jefferson). How the author of the Encyclopedia made this simple mistake, I do not know.

      Some mistakes are necessary to highlight something important "Thomas Jefferson". 😜

    CFW Malone, you are correct, should be CFW Dumas. Brain fart on my part, given the great TJ scholar Dumas Malone! I asked Stanford to make the alteration.

      I wasn’t aware you wrote the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy entry for Jefferson! It’s an excellent resource I’ve recommended to many people. I’m a big fan of your work. It’s good to see you on TH-cam! Will be binge watching your videos when I get some time!

    Hypocrisy

      If it wasn’t for Jefferson, America would’ve been an autocracy a long time ago. But I can’t ignore certain forms of hypocrisy. Mainly, his actions as President & the Louisiana Purchase. But that goes beyond himself & maybe he was doing what he felt was best for the nation.

      The guy above you, the so called dr. Mark, is the epitome of that, with the flag behind him. Thousands of Ukrainians dead, because of US's imperialist insanity and of course HYPOCRISY, but now buttressed by total control over all sources of information in the US, EU and other puppet regimes of the US.

      Written by someone who has never been a hypocrite and who has been consistant in their beliefs 100% of the time?
