AUTHOR
SUMMARY
"O'Brien examines two dark sides of the Jeffersonian legacy: his enthusiasm for the French Revolution, and his support for the slave-based Southern economy....O'Brien argues that the egalitarian promise of the Declaration of Independence and Jefferson's many statements against slavery were partly intended for political consumption and concealed both a deep-rooted support for the Southern slave system and a profound racism....On Jefferson's legacy to America, O'Brien ends by questioning the future status of a slaveholder with racist views in America's increasingly multicultural society."O'Brien, Conor Cruise is the author of 'Long Affair Thomas Jefferson and the French Revolution, 1785-1800' with ISBN 9780226616537 and ISBN 0226616533.
