A combo of two of the finest - The Aspen Institute (Ideas Festival) & John author John Meacham Thomas Jefferson:
Some favorite thoughts from the talk:
“That he failed to live a perfect live or deliver on the promise of the Declaration...that he has been condemned as a hypocrite...in the eyes of history are to my mind reasons engage with him...not excoriate.”
“That he failed to live a perfect live or deliver on the promise of the Declaration...that he has been condemned as a hypocrite...in the eyes of history are to my mind reasons engage with him...not excoriate.”
“Jefferson wrote the poetry of the Revolution.”
“Jefferson was against federal power until he wielded it.”
