Jefferson's Blood
This paper is on the movie Jefferson's Blood. The movie is about the third president of the
united states Thomas Jefferson. He had a secret which at this time could have ruined his
whole career. He married the daughter of a wealthy land and slave owner named John
Wayles. Soon after the Marriage John Wayles died and left everything to his oldest
daughter. Back in these times a woman couldn't own land, so Thomas Jefferson got the land
and slaves. Along with those slaves was Betty Hemings, John's mistress who was mixed. She
was the mother of Sally Hemings, which was the half sister of Thomas's wife. Sally then
became Thomas's wife's bed aid while she was sick and dying. After she died Thomas
became a spokesmen for Paris, which had him spending a lot of time over there. When he
went to Paris he took his personal slave Jupiter with him to learn French cooking. At the
same time Paris had laws against slavery and Jupiter found this out. Soon after Jefferson sent
for his daughter to come to Paris along with her personal slave Sally Hemings. When they
arrived in Paris Jupiter told Sally that they could get out of slavery but Sally wasn't
interested. She told him that Jefferson treated them both very well and that she was going to
stay with them. Soon after, Sally became pregnant with Jefferson's baby. Upon returning to
the united states to Jefferson's estate called Monticello. In the few years following Sally
became pregnant four more times with Jefferson, this was a secret until recently. It was
always a rumor, but has been proven that the Jefferson family has two different races in them
Black and White. There is a lot of controversy about whether or not the Black part of the
family should be allowed to be buried in the family estate Monticello. Its been an ongoing
issue for many years, but the evidence is there that Thomas Jefferson and Sally Hemings did
have children
