What are some of the contradictions that you observe about Thomas Jefferson from looking at these sources?  Putting it all in historical context, how can you explain these contradictions?

1. What are some of the contradictions that you observe about Thomas Jefferson from looking at these sources?  Putting it all in historical context, how can you explain these contradictions?  Is  the fact that he was a slave owner and had children with a woman who was his slave  enough to condemn his legacy? 2. How did Sally Hemings exhibit agency? What were some ways that she made her life better and try to ensure a better life for her children? Explain how these actions need to be viewed through a historical lens. 3. Explain how this relationship highlights the complexity of slavery.  Is it possible for a slave to have a consensual relationship with her owner?  How does her choice to return with Jefferson to the U.S. after having freedom in France complicate the argument? How does the power dynamic that Jefferson had over Hemings differ from that of a husband and wife at the time?
