His neighbors called Thomas Jefferson the worst farmer in Virginia, and yet Jefferson dedicated himself to agrarian exploration with a devotion akin to worship. Which meant many, many failures.

Grown in dry soil, it could supplant, he hoped, the lowland rice that Georgia and the Carolinas depended on – “a plant,” he wrote, “which sows life and death with almost equal hand,” because the crop’s...

Washington withdrew angrily and swore he “would be damned if he went there again,” thus ensuring a tradition of separation between the executive and legislative branches....

I believe that Thomas Jefferson is a hypocrite in the sense of creating the constitution and going against his own rules and here is why. First of all, Jefferson could not stress enough that all men are created equal when in reality he owns over 200 slaves for himself. He does not have respect for all men, only white men; he has openly made rude remarks to African Americans and has not mentioned any reasonable rights that apply to them...
