Sally Hemmngs was between 12 and 14 years old when he started his relationship with her, and Jefferson was in his forties. He freed the children that he had with her, but not Sally. Her daughter had to free her mother after Jefferson passed away.
Who knows about Sally Hemings?She was Thomas Jefferson’s slave.
Called his “mistress,” but how can you be a mistress when you were a slave, a child, and could not consent? Had absolutely no choice?
She bore him 6, perhaps as many as 8 children. He kept her locked in a basement room.
The room was recently unearthed, and DNA evidence has proven the lineage of Sally’s children.

This is not taught in schools. This side of history. We are supposed to consider the founding fathers as great men, fighting for justice and freedom, guided by God… when they are evil men. Selfish men who did…

I found this in Wikipedia:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sally_Hemings
It says: “The historical question of whether Jefferson was the father of Hemings’ children is the subject of the Jefferson–Hemings controversy. . .” But there are quite a few studies going on about all this!

Aunty, as it states further on in the article, the DNA evidence is quite conclusive that Hemings’ children were descended from Jefferson. Here is the report from The Thomas Jefferson Foundation: https://www.monticello.org/thomas-jefferson/jefferson-slavery/thomas-jefferson-and-sally-hemings-a-brief-account/research-report-on-jefferson-and-hemings/ii-assessment-of-dna-study/
The articles on Wikipedia are reviewed and edited regularly by various agencies of US government to delete information unfavorable to the “official” version of US history.

Unfortunately in this ongoing age of debasement of ALL hu~mans white….6 or more children by Sally to Thomas Jefferson suggested a little more than a master/slave relationship. Perhaps Sally liked Thomas Jefferson? Oh, what heresy might that be in this so enlightening age of bloody adrenochrome?
Then there is the so troubling p.o.v./fact of reincarnation, too. What if TJ came as a a woman this lifetime? Lol…Serves him right, huh?
Most conventional ‘his/herstory’ say TJ died July 4th, 1826 5 hours before John Adams did, thus John was ‘wrong’ to say in his last words, “Thomas Jefferson still survives.”
That’s just one of the problems with conventional religions…Perhaps John Adams saw Thomas Jefferson’s astral body as he was dying? Of course John did….Wake up! Lol

As a child psychiatrist, Leland, I agree with the research indicating a child under 14 is developmentally incapable of giving consent. In modern terms, we would call it statutory rape.
