"A free ballot and a fair count"
I must say I knew very little about Thomas Jefferson. I am also surprised and a little dismayed when our heroes don't think, act, respond to their world in the way we as Americans would or should respond. Being the perfect humans we all are. But that's just the point. Thomas Jefferson was very human and flawed. Yet he had a brilliance and a passion that has endured over 200 years though sometimes minimally.
I could never figure out why we in 2012 look back to 1776 and wonder why our founding fathers did not grant full women rights, free the slaves, vanquish child labor or just, "Do the right thing." I do have an understanding that many of our founding fathers regretted not being able to abolish slavery and knew that in some near distant future the matter would be dealt with and probably with violence. It was not going to go away without a fight.
This book is basic and easily understood. It speaks in a simple way of all the accomplishments of Jefferson, the proudest being his establishment of the University of Virginia and the writing of the constitution of Virginia. After all, he was a Virginian before he was a Patriot.
So if you want a light reading novel of some of the greatest events that occurred in American History, this would be a fine novel to read.
