Didn't Thomas Jefferson father children from female slaves (not necessarily children)? And then keep them as slaves? Know I heard something about this. I think they had genetic proof.

Sally Hennings or Hemmings I think.

IIRC, some years ago her (and his) descendants were welcomed at TJs famly reunions.
 The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

The main reason guys like Washington and Jefferson joined the Yankees against the British was so that they could keep their slaves.  And then when the war was over they ended up running the country.

I've been pondering a fictional 1850s parallel on Brokeback Mountain where a slave owner falls in love with one of his male slaves . . .


and the slave realizes it before his master does.



And then the slave realizes he is in love too . . .
