Jefferson was a member of the southern aristocracy in which he was standing in the middle of the nation’s major controversy which would eventually astound America to its foundations, that of slavery. The intention Wills carries out in this book is to analyze Jefferson’s role in the ongoing debate concerning it and he was able to become president on the strength of a rule that was seen as a compromise between the north and the south on the subject of slavery, known as the three-fifths rule.

    In 1791, Benjamin Banneker, the lowly son of former slaves, wrote to Thomas Jefferson, the great framer of the Declaration of Independence and advocate for equality, urging Jefferson to see the hypocrisy and injustices of slavery in the colonies. During this post-Revolutionary time, slavery was still prevalent in the colonies which bewildered many as America embedded its roots in the “inalienable” rights given to “all” men, who were all created “equally”.
