who's Sally?

[PrussianSunsets]

@GoMidoriIsCool Sally Hemmings, Jefferson's Slave and eventual lover.

I'm sorry, but Jefferson was known for not wearing a wig. This had such awesome potential, but an F-up that big just takes me out of the video.

[PrussianSunsets]

He wore a wig in his early career (which this video covers), and we sought to use the known costumes of the times.

I do thank all of your for watching this video and wish you well over this holiday.

HAHA! "Screw you England!"

[van11111]

LMAO! Dude you rock.  Don't see how it could've been done better!

"T. Jeff" LOL!

@cjbatesii Randolph Jefferson is the possible "culprit." Though I agree that most historians have jumped the gun on proclaiming him "guilty" of fathering all of Sally Hemings children, there is enough evidence to suspect him as a possible father to Eston Hemings. It will never be proven obviously. However Jefferson was a complex man with many contradictions. His greatness is sure, but so are his flaws. A moderate approach is best as opposed to deifying vs. condemnation.

great video, very funny. The only problem is that the declaration was done on July 2nd. it went through two days of changes before it was actually distributed.

@PrussianSunsets Pure Propaganda...The supposed final word of the DNA only proved that someone in his family is the questionable character, and I have heard letters from the time pointing more strongly to, if I remember correctly, a younger brother...Despite the convulsive need to revise history that is rampant in academia, some people (Jefferson included) are deserving of the greatness accorded them by their posterity.

Thumbs up for the Sharpie quill.

[cmsalvagio]

@PrussianSunsets

She was a toddler in 1776. This fact makes the video 10 times as funny.

[tonialuvslecter]

[StarLine317]

@PrussianSunsets that was never proven.
