Jefferson Memorial update will acknowledge slave owner record

Aug 21st 2017 1:52PM

Thomas Jefferson’s memorial on the National Mall in Washington, D.C. is getting an update to include that he was a slave owner.

The Trust for the National Mall, which is dedicated to restoring, improving and preserving the National Mall, said they will update the third president’s exhibit amid a national debate on the status of over 1,500 Confederate monuments following the Charlottesville tragedy concerning a statue of Robert E. Lee.

...getting an update to include that he was a slave owner.

All but four of the presidents before Lincoln and both of the presidents after him owned or inherited slaves. (12 out of 18, I believe)

Should we revise all historical monuments in the USA to include all of the dirty details of history just so some SJWs will be able to sleep better in their onesie or romper at night?

Maybe they should start chiseling away at Mt Rushmore while they are at it...

I was illustrating absurdity by being absurd. Using SJW logic, many memorials and much of our history would have to be erased. Some non-slave owners found other ways to run afoul of SJW standards.

Oh, and read how Lincoln either rented 14-year old Ruth Burns, later Stanton, who was either a slave or an indentured servant. And Mary Todd Lincoln is famous for saying, "One thing is for certain; if Mr. Lincoln should happen to die, his spirit will never find me living outside the boundaries of a slave state."

Did the Lincoln Family Employ a Slave in 1849-1850?
by Allen C. Guelzo

The link goes to the Abraham Lincoln Association. The author is a professor of the civil war era and has published numerous books about Lincoln.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allen_C._Guelzo

Allen Carl Guelzo (born 1953) is the Henry R. Luce III Professor of the Civil War Era at Gettysburg College, where he serves as Director of the Civil War Era Studies Program.[1]

Rachel A. Shelden says that for two decades Guelzo,

"has been at the forefront of Civil War–era scholarship. In particular, he has focused his analytical efforts on the life and legacy of Abraham Lincoln, publishing books covering the Lincoln-Douglas debates, the origins of the Emancipation Proclamation, and Lincoln's presidential leadership, among others."
