Confronting Thomas Jefferson, Slave Owner.
Blackman, James A.
Phi Delta Kappan, v74 n3 p220-22 Nov 1992
Although Thomas Jefferson's view of freedom was the cornerstone of the Declaration of Independence, this founding father owned 170 slaves to run his 5,000 acre plantation. This article describes a unit developed by the Monticello (Virginia) Education Department that teaches secondary students about slave Isaac Jefferson while exposing them to historical research and interpretation.
