'We Hold These Truths to Be Self-Evident...': An Interdisciplinary Analysis of the Roots of Racism and Slavery in America
Gary Willis historical analysis knocks my pretty little historical framework socks off. (as he has before in Lincoln at Gettysburg: The Words That Remade America, a rhetorical-historical analysis)
We have heard of the Washington and Alexander Hamilton & Thomas Jefferson and James Madison. Yet Willis combos John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, amd Timothy Pickering. Timothy Pickering who we mostly know as a historical footnote. Wills says that while Adam's and Jefferson have weighty importance American history, no one has begun done to do justice to the role Pickering played as a Federalist working to hold back slave power. Oh may I read that historical analysis when it comes into being.
I read Negro President: Jefferson and the Slave Power as part of a reading survey of Thomas Jefferson with GR group Nonfiction Side Reads. I have left many comments and quotes there. As that group is a private group, that information can be accessed only by those friends. I will, as I often do, record some quotes in the next couple of days will be able to be seen by all interested.
