- Thomas Jefferson, third president, philosopher, scientist, historian, and author of the Declaration of the Independence, helped establish the foundations of self-government and individual freedom we know today. Jefferson's words-the Declaration and his more than 19,000 letters-and his architecture-including Monticello and the University of Virginia- provide a lens for scholars and visitors today to view the beginnings of early America.
We were here several years ago. The trees out front are hugh and original . It was quite informative. We would like to go back.
Thomas Jefferson has always been my favorite president. He insisted on having a bill of rights for Americans. He foresaw the dangers of big government and that is what we have today. One of the greatest human beings to ever have lived.
The man had slaves and was a hypocrite
I don't get how people keep coming here to hate on Jefferson like why can't they just go somewhere else and be more positive instead of trying to seek things they hate
Talking about his full truth isn't hate. It is just facts.
@@nm6783 you missed my point. I personally hate Andrew Jackson but do I go around looking for videos about him just to talk about how much I hate him? No.
🙏🏾Im so proud of my beloved ancestors beautiful craftsmanship and resounding spirit...🖤

This is when the tour was still American! Now, it has woke tours, that completely contradict what he accomplished FOR ALL OF US! "Pride costs us more than hunger, thirst, and cold." By Thomas Jefferson
“For every man, the first country is his homeland and the second is France.” By Thomas Jefferson
they were in the room where it happened.
Thomas Jefferson would endorse Rand Paul for president.
Well Known
"The curiosity of the neighborhood."
the french general "la fayette " was here with your president thomas jefferson to prepare the american independance .
The Marquis de Lafayette
did not visit Monticello until 1824, nearly fifty years after American Independence. It was George Washington with whom Lafayette was very close and it was at Mount Vernon and at General Washington headquarters that we find Lafayette offering vital assistance and support in the cause of American independence. Lafayette came to Virginia to defend the state but got little assistance from Jefferson who was then governor of Virginia. Lafayette rather generously withheld criticism of Jefferson wartime reputation but Baron von Steuben who had come to Virginian early in the war to oversee Virginia's defense was scathing in his judgment of Governor Jefferson's failure to take action and take a stand.
I have a sketch of this place original surround
Does anyone know the music that is being used with this video?
Hey! This comment was a while ago and I just wanted to see if you were still active !! I think it’s awesome how many people wanna learn about this!
Was he soft-spoken to his slaves?
I have a question: why the fuck is his bed in the middle of the door way? Like does he want to impress the ladies with his love making then impress the ladies with his law making?
Let us know the answer when you get it.
Hard to HEAR with that distracting MUSIC!
It's funny how they leave out the fact that most of his children were slaves!!!
That's simply untrue.
+skylarscaling this is the problem with "white america" today they don't believe that racism exists and it does, don't believe you can get pulled over today because you're black and drive a nice car and are able to have nice things, when in fact we ALWAYS did but it was taken from us from your forefathers and our freedom. don't give me that is not true read and do your history.
nastassia jefferson Who was it that condemned slavery as an immoral institution and wrote it in to the first draft of the Declaration of Independence?
I don't think I'm the one who needs to read about history.
Ab Lincoln said that all men are created equal but he was still beating slaves and had them in his house. They contridicted themselves. Read more. He DID raped slaves. That DID go on. You just ignorant to see that. It's in the library. Books everywhere on it.
nastassia jefferson Find a reputable source and cite it, otherwise you're just making things up.
knowledge knowledge knowledge yaaaay lol no way
No....slaves built that home.
Jefferson was the brains behind. Jefferson was the designer and architect. Slaves were only labor. They did what they were instructed to do. You don't see any homes like this in west Africa.
@@ednakelley814 There are a lot of things you don't see there - food, medicine, care for children.
@@patriciayeiser6405 well it's a museum so..
Slaves did the labor……Jefferson did the thinking….
Thomas Jefferson was also a racist that believed in inherent inferiority in African-Americans.
"... he (Thomas Jefferson) took little political action to emancipate slaves, owned hundreds of his own, and freed only a fraction of these in his life and will."
-Wikipedia
so what
Wow...you clearly are leaving out several important facts that show how uneducated you truly are. Jefferson was part of the group who put together The Northwest Ordinance which outlawed slavery. He also tried to make slavery illegal in Virginia. He was the President who ended the slave trade. His original draft of the Declaration called out the British for the evil institution of slavery being brought to the colonies, but it was taken out by the editing committee due to its extremism. He stated that slavery was like having the wolf by the ears, because he knew they needed to let it go, but they were afraid of what would happen. The man traded with his slaves, and there is plenty of documentation that shows he was respectful and caring. Seriously, where would they go, and what would they do if he got rid of them???
@@BoyBadBoogie Jefferson's wealth was the product of slave labor. He could have shared the wealth and paid his slaves for their labor and told them they could leave if they desired.
@@sueecavanau Many in this nation lived off the work of others...for generations.
did you seriously and unironically cite Wikipedia?!?!
That music is anoying
