jefferson real story
Thomas Jefferson had good ideas. But those ideas weren’t the whole story. Tomas Jefferson’s real story didn’t always match up with his ideas. Jefferson thought everyone should be free. But he didn’t know how to end slavery. He thought everyone should work hard on a small family farm. But he also thought everyone should be educated. And if you had to spend most your time doing chores on your family’s farm, it was hard to go to school. He thought everyone should take part in the government. People who spent all there time working on a farm didn’t have much time for government, either.
