The book also tells of Jefferson’s accomplishments through is life: politically as well as, family. Also, the different forms of educational institutions and tutors he had. Jefferson was human and the book tells of his fears, drawbacks, and embarrassments in life.
Slavery was part of Jefferson’s life. The author, Bober, tells of Jefferson’s hope that slavery would end soon, yet he continued to keep his own slaves. However, he did release Sally Hemmings’s children as he promised her, after making sure they had the skills to support themselves financially. The book shows that Peter Jefferson and Thomas Jefferson treated their slaves with respect and felt responsible for their safety.
This book is a great book for facts as well as good reading material. ( )
