Classmate Post to Respond to: Djompollo
During the French Revolution, as America’s minister to France, Thomas Jefferson was in favor of the National Assembly, aka the 3rd Estate’s, desire to conjure a new constitution to be inclusive and just in their treatment of the Estates. Jefferson’s support was proven to me when he stated in his letters, “On their return, the popular cries were ‘vive le roy et la nation.’ He was conducted by a garde Bourgeoise to his palace at Versailles, and thus concluded such an Amende honorable as no sovereign ever made and no people ever received.”
It would be Ironic to claim that, Thomas Jefferson, Former U.S. president known for founding the Declaration of Independence and advocating for liberty as well as his support of the American Revolution is indeed fraudulent in his claim of being concerned with the rights of all, as he was very selective himself on to whom he was referring to. “He wrote about black people’s inherent inferiority to whites and Native Americans” Crash Course Narrator, John Green conveys. John Green also poses a philosophical question in regards to Thomas Jefferson’s comfortability in keeping Slaves in bondage; He asks, “ What does the most important phrase of the Declaration of Independence mean?”
Though a very pivotal individual in the many beneficial changes he influenced during his reign, Thomas Jefferson was opposed to the idea of slaves or women being included in his Declaration of Independence. His famous quote, “Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of happiness” was not inclusive to every American. With this being the case I did think his perspective was quite surprising, in the sense that, he showed support with all individuals in the 3rd Estate, including the peasants.
