9-minute video highlighting Thomas Jefferson's life and accomplishments through Monticello, his mountaintop home in Charlottesville, Virginia, United States of America. Features historian David McCullough.
I'm just confounded that they would choose someone like McCullough to narrate this video,who by his own admission said,"he didn't care for Jefferson all that much."
I love how so many people on here succumb to the lies and rumors that surround Jefferson's true glory. If you want to actually learn about Thomas Jefferson, go pick up the book The Real Thomas Jefferson. The rumor about Thomas Jefferson fathering illegitimate children with his slave Sally Hemings is from a smear campaign by a newpaper columnist that was arrested for opposing Adam's presidency, but then wasn't offered a position by Jefferson so he began writing for a Federalist newspaper.
@giftofyah im not denying anything you just wrote, and what you just wrote doesn't really address what i was saying. but also, how could there be a US mint or a Bank of America before Thomas Jefferson? Don't you need a nation for all of that? and i thought Alexander Hamilton was the one who started up the first National Bank...
Oh yeah, I'm sorry Thomas Jefferson also had black blood in his lineage, which he tried to forget; So he may have done some great things for others, but slightly by the second class citizens (slaves).

Jefferson did write an autobiography at age 77...I've read it 10 times..not sure why McCullough conveyed that he didn't?
