this is jefferson's home his entire life. jefferson is trying to use that plantation to make money. like most virginia plantation owners, he has cash crops, primarily tobacco and later in his life, wheat. he has mixed success in turning a profit off of this plantation, but here on this mountaintop, this is also the center of his home life as well. throughout his retirement years, once the house is complete, this home is filled with his family members. his daughter and her husband move into this home, so this would have been a home filled with his family members as well as guests. throughout jefferson's retirement years, as a very public official and as somebody who gained fame for not only being president of the united states but being the man who wrote the declaration of independence, he would have hosted perpetual rounds of company here. guests would have come right here into this room where we are right now, the hall. depending on who they were, may have had to wait here to have a chance to see jefferson. we have a lot of accounts of those guests of their visit to monticello. for

it wasn't true and jefferson time. jefferson was a fellow also had the idea that architecture, public architecture is served a didactic purpose. he had the idea that virginia is public architecture and architecture in general is a lead status for people who live in those gigantic houses and it gave a mistaken message about with the colonial government ought to be structured and so on and he thought it would be right for classical architecture to be substituted for the kinds of buildings that virginians had dug for themselves and the colonial period. and so, he had biased his fellow virginia political leaders that they have to follow the greek and roman examples. when he was in france, he saw an ancient roman copy of a temple he quite admired and ultimately that became the model for the capital, the virginia capitol in richmond. he also played a role in initiating the habit of americans using classical models for their federal architecture as well. of course kind of left aside the fact that when they say the capital of

to a jefferson uncle, or jefferson -- a collateral. everybody knew that jefferson had no legitimate white sons. that's the family story.

to a jefferson uncle, or jefferson -- a collateral. everybody knew that jefferson had no legitimate white sons. that's the family story. thegenerations -- they keep story of hemmings and jefferson, but the grandchildren, because they wanted to be white, they don't tell them about that. they lose the story of sally hemmings and the story of sally jefferson. it is better than being a descendent of thomas jefferson's in being part black. it is better to forget that and to live as a black person with all of the limitations that would be on you. that family loses its story. it is that family line that gave the dna with the testing that was done in 2008. -- i mean, 1998. they did not know until the 1970's, they had a son that was trying to do this family history. there were a long line of print and graduates in he could not get past a certain point. it was not until he wrote the book and they realized they thought his name was st. out.cannot figure this that is when they realize there was a connection. madison hemmings was the only one whose

they answered to jefferson, not the overseer. jefferson says, ok. you come back, you can work with john hemmings. and then jamie decides, he doesn't want to come back at all. and he just doesn't come back. and jefferson takes him off the slave role. he essentially lets him go. james hemmings, this jamie is sally hemmings's nephew. it is his wife's half nephew. he is john wales's grandson, that connection says something. james hemmings -- was james hubbard, who was another enslaved man and monticello who ran away and jefferson hadn't , brought back -- and kept running away and jefferson didn't come back, they bring them back, and jefferson hipped.y had him w he was whipped and sold because he kept running away. so the difference between james hubbard, who has no family connection to jefferson, and james hemmings, who has all of these family connections, and when he runs away he told jefferson, i'm not coming back -- and jefferson says, i'm not coming back unless -- he issues, basically, a condition. jefferson abides by it. goes along with it. then wh

jefferson brought munro along. that they were together so much -- i think that's wisdom , these clash of ideas long discussions about the constitution and laws. jefferson and madison were fascinated with explorers, by explorers. booklist,k at their they were delighted to learn about the first guide to go into -- people who sailed around the world. that's a purely enlightenment thing. they had this whole environment. that's in which it was -- thought important to explore ideas, as well as countries. there's one last thing. i haven't quite gotten this together yet. one of your lectures was a gordon would -- talked about how modest a mansion in the united states was, compared to a palace for example. no relationship -- the one is tiny and the other is huge. they were on the periphery of civilization. they weren't at the center, they were on the edges. i think that made the more creative. you don't have this vast layer of tradition over the top of you that you have to fight through. you have a new country, new ideas --

jefferson was always the optimist. kitty had seemed amenable, then she and her family traveled to new jersey and madison waited to hear from her about the upcoming wedding. he didn't hear and didn't hear. finally he got a dear john letter. he poured his hurt and heart out to jefferson, who gave him great advice. he told him, the world will present many other resources of happiness. you possess many within yourself. this is my favorite. firmness of mind and an unintimidating occupation will not long leave you in pain. in other words, throw yourself into her work. that's exactly what madison did. kitty went on to marry a medical student named william clark -- he later became a clergyman. she was a spendthrift. in a will, her father wrote that he had given kitty and husband considerable sums of money and a tract of land. father complained, all is gone -- he ordered his son nicholas , having cut her out of his will, to give her $70 a month. it's quite possible that disappointed is madison was, how sturdy was better for the

jefferson did a lot of entertaining. entertaining-sex for the times she was not there, so it would be men from the federalist party, men from the republican party, not mixing people. you sort of wonder about that, whether because he did not have a wife that he could present, was the idea that everybody would come and it would be stacked, instead of having women and it would be very obvious that he was by himself? carol: the other woman who is very influential -- we don't want to give too much away because we are doing a program on her -- as dolley madison, who really shaped informal politics in washington. that atly understood social gatherings, you could get men to agree to what the president wanted to do, or get two warring factions together over ice cream. it would soften the ideological divide. sheet, i think, was also a very influential woman. lesley: all right, new topic. gil, how important is it to a presidency that he have a happy marriage? gil: first of all, i would say that on the whole, for most wives,nts and

jefferson was the author of the statute. he declared that either -- neither religious nor political leaders had any dominion over the faith of others. punishing people for their religious beliefs or declaring them unworthy of public office was depriving them of advantages to which they had a natural right. our civil rights, jefferson wrote, have no dutch attendant on our religious opinions, anymore than our opinions in physics or geometry. again, madison and jefferson were on the front tier of thought here. it has long been believed that there should be an established church. in the case of virginia -- and religious conformity had to be imposed. but madison and jefferson saw it differently. the statute failed to pass when they first tried to get it through the virginia assembly. then jefferson went off to paris for five years. well he was gone, madison, who was the sharpest politician among the founders, saw an opportunity and got it passed. he wrote a letter to jefferson in which he declared, the statute had extinguished fo

describeden jefferson a tramp.e declined and said he had some reason to suspect that crossing the sea would be on friendly to my constitution. madison was a lifelong defender of religious freedom and when we try to answer the question of this lecture series to propose how has the past influenced the present rate it is his addled for religious freedom that i always think of. it is absolutely essential, that is kind of the ground for. was a part of his treatment of the baptists as he was young. he was charged with preaching without a license and thrown in tol for people subscribing what he describes as that diabolical hell conceived principal of the first amendment. at age 22 in a note as angry as anything he had ever wrote he declared that religious bondage, and unfit sit for every enterprise. he spoke with the authority of the men who knew the misery of being bound to a received viewpoint. probably because he had experienced it firsthand. the standard religious view of the time was that people with epilepsy were lu

and then thomas jefferson. washington was the first president of the united states, jefferson was the third. where is president number two? john adams? he's not here. that was a mistake for mr. bens. here's the letter in albert small's collection. the original letter written by john adams to john bens complaining about adams' absence from this print. and sent a copy of his print to john adams who when he received it was horrified to find that his portrait was missing from the print. therefore, he returned it to john bens along with this letter, saying i'm returning this. please do not send another copy. in 1823, perhaps the most important facsimile reproduction of the declaration of independence was issued. this is the so-called stone broadside. this print was actually taken directly from the original manuscript in -- and now on display in the national archives. as you know if you've seen the original it's quite faded. one of the reasons that it is faded is that the treatment received at the time that this prin

the first amendment was to be construed. 1802, when jefferson was ,resident of the united states and the baptists of danbury, him and try to lobby him to get jesus christ into the constitution he wrote them back. he said, "i could not do it if i wanted to, and i would not if i could. the first amendment of the constitution stipulates separation of church and state." heferson said that, and worked with madison ticket that in the constitution. the last gentleman was on the money when he mentioned there was no mention of any specific religion or any specific figure, suchfit or as jesus, or any other. jefferson and madison made that even stronger with the establishment clause of the first amendment saying there will be no establishment of religion in the u.s. thank you host:. mike from somerville, massachusetts. caller: hi. that was a lot and i'm glad i didn't have to explain it. it went along with what i would like to say. i have a couple of points. one is a general point, and another is i would like to respond to the older gentleman that was a veteran. the first is i look at the trump

jefferson didn't do this. washington did do this.e did something important, so then i started reading. i ended up reading 44 books on alexander hamilton after thousands of hours on all the others. it was this weekend in 2011 because my family got tired of everything i read about alexander hamilton. what i did for these 47 people, i was making a list not knowing it had any purpose with what they actually did of the 47. and in the list for hamilton kept going and going. with the reaction from my neighbors and friends, i was not going to be able to share alexander hamilton. not only was he not bad, but he was a pretty good guy. and was this weekend and i couldn't figure it out. it was 4:00 in the morning. all of a sudden this thought came to my mind. i should've given up two or three times by then. there was this ibm consultant methodology in new jersey and they sent us there for difficult engagements. i was in the aerospace and automotive industries. this is a difficult engagement. boom. boom.ater, a lot of it wasn't necessary anymore,

to me about the connection of banneker and jefferson is banneker sending his almanac to jefferson and stating that african-americans are brilliant. they are human. they contribute to the development of the nation and deserve to be free. thomas jefferson essentially said you are the exception and freedom was not going to come during his particular time in life. this is a human story. in the midst of all of this inhumanity, you still have african-americans fighting for freedom, fighting for liberty, fighting for the nation to recognize them as citizens in this world. atwe go forward we look ,hile they were laws african-americans found ways to go a around those laws and hold on to their humanity. many things happened after the revolutionary war, including the development of the cotton gin in 1793 and the louisiana purchase in 1803 and the end of the international slave trade in 18 away. what did that mean? please note the space we are in right now. directly in front of me is a tower of cotton which is a marker as the driver of the trade. no different than sugar was during the early perio
