The fetish of several members of this forum for an unrepentant slaveholder is mildly disturbing.

Are you part of the "slave owner = automatic HP" crowd? If you are, by the same logic I guess we must never vote for FDR because he put Japanese Americans in camps. Or perhaps there's more to a president than doing or being one horrific thing/action...

There's a difference between doing something, however horrific, because you believe it to be necessary for the survival of the nation, and doing something because you hope to profit personally from it.

What an absurd excuse for FDR's actions. LOL, You can't at least say some discrimination and xenophobia came into the decision? I'm not defending Jefferson's slave owning at all, but there's more  to the founders than 'they owned slaves'. You're suggesting to just look past and ignore all the other things.
