Thomas Jefferson was a good man, even as he was a man of his times, as we are a men and women of our times.
He struggled with the idea of slavery, and he lost the struggle, not being able to deal with its ultimate evil.
But he was moral enough to struggle with it–something many of his (and our) contemporaries refused to do–and to reveal those struggles in writing, even as he was unable rise above his times.
And now Thomas Jefferson no longer exists in Texas.
Blue Commonweath sums it up.
