i spent a lot of time researching at monticello.here is a lot of influence of and someas jefferson of the great research the folks are doing excavating the lives of enslaved like people at monticello in there. i was trying to pull all of that together and make it into some sort of coherent story. juan: and the setting of the plantation where he is initially raised, he is a mixed raced son. his mother was enslaved and his father was the master of the plantation. could you talk about the conditions in that plantation are not necessarily as horrific as many people are accustomed to understanding and slavery, why you chose to make it -- it was still slavery, but not as oppressive necessarily as other plantations? >> i would say it was, but not in the way we were used to. it is not that you are incorrect, it is -- traditionally, when we think about slavery, what immediatelyy comes toto mind is physical torture, being beaten, being worked to death. horrible things that actually happen. in the course of researching this and looking at thee

monticello was forced to admit that terence had donated 1500 euros to his private account a year before the attack. the terrorists donation to the identity area movement demonstrates ideological sympathy or proximity also said that he donated to other nationalist movements and this is a very clear indication that the christ church killer was a fan of the i tend to tarry a movement i'm fan. of people. the identity movement has set up what it calls a patriotic bar behind the barred windows of this house and hala. several far right activists are holding a meeting here. we are allowed inside but aren't allowed to ask any questions. alex monkee says the killer's donation to montana zellner was no big deal. those are the the biggest the fuss is that this whole thing is a farce and is this the result is it could happen to anyone. you talk tomorrow someone could throw 10 euros into your mailbox. just saying. this is just a little bit mysterious. was this just a random donation unsolicited and unwanted. it turns out that zelma replied to brandon terrance email. i want to thank you personally for

monticello called him the wisest man of his generation.jefferson biographer agreed summarizing mason's marquee contributions to the revolution when he said polk may send charter of the rights of human beings much more fully than jefferson did in the immortal necessarily compressed paragraphs of the more famous document the declaration of rights. of the contemporary impassive mesas declaration malone went on to say there would be no possible question. more than any other single american, did you hear that? more than any other single american george mason may be regarded as the herald of this new era. quite simply mason develops into private man of renaissance but with an abiding conviction deep inside him, the fate of individual liberty, individual freedom with paramount governmental power. he believed individual freedom was a national right. individual liberty was a natural right that he wrote in his virginia declaration of rights quote all power vested in and consequently derived from the people that government is, ought to be instituted

. >> stephen: when i went to monticello the last time, i heard something that wasn't expressed this waywas a different change of attitude or tone toward these people. slave is an identity. >> yes. >> stephen: an enslaved person is what happens to this person who has has their own singular identity. >> right. >> stephen: hi calls the people in here for maybe 100 pages we don't hear the word "slave. of. >> no, you don't. >> stephen: you hear the word "task." where does that come from. >> if slave is in there, it's a mistake. if i had done this right it would not have appeared in there at all. >> stephen: i've read 250 pages and it only appears three times. >> in my mind, one of the things you have to do as a fiction writer, sucan't write a novel about slavery, even when you're writing about slavery. has to be your slavery. it has to be your picture of it. it has to be your particular thing. because you say the word "slavery" and images automatically come to mind, whether you want to focus on them or not-- for instance, whips, chains, all of that is immediately what is conjured up. this wa

if you ever have a chance to go to monticello where he had a wonderful estate. things fromifferent all over the country. in 1770magine yourself visiting this person and you would walk in and say -- this looks like a museum. this guy is really something. he collected in different languages, he had the koran and other things because he said there is no subject to which a congress should have to refer. when the fire came in 1812 or 1814, the library of congress had a small collection of law books. they used -- and it was in the capital, they used some of those books to start the fire in the capital. fires jefferson, after the that destroyed the books, offered his collection to the nation. and that is the foundation of the library of congress. had another collection. then, you now and will pick up a paper or magazine and read yet another article about the death of the book and how the internet is killing reading and so on. gush of there is a pieces through your doors that have to be catalogued, kept, and trackable. maybe americans have not gotten the word that readi

live there and had my babies there, and i love it, but the fact that it stands in the shadow of monticello itself. you mentioned jefferson in the book and i think it's a town that is still really complicated to jefferson into african american women in the same thing we're describing, how do you feel pride in the south, pride in the cradle of democracy and also strive to be really candid about the failings. that's the same problem that we have with the statues. there is a point of southern pride, there is an argument of how the south feels about itself in the civildo war, how do you have that conversation, how do you dread that needle withoutly saying you're a bunch of racist haters, that's exactly what we get into the feedback loop we are in. >> i took about this in the book, virginia is a great state of eight half-million people. and those people are confronted when i was running for governor, they are not symbolic of who virginia is but every state is going to have haters, racist and so forth and that is not who we are and how it defines us. virginia has such unique history and the first
