Well you are my Thomas Johnson (although I'd say that letter was simply the cherry on the tip of the cake of your motives).
As for the real Thomas Jefferson, I ain't no expert about him, good or bad, or about his views on personal debt and for a modest republican lifestyle.
When it comes to taking off their rose-colored glasses about the words they write; generally speaking some days I find liberals the most reluctant to do so; other days conservatives, other days both. As for Mr. Parry: I've never received even an acknowledgement of receipt for any correspondence I sent him.
As for 'barbaric' system of slavery; the following article I thought had a fascinating comparison between the South's mostly affectionate treatment of their slaves; and the north's cruel treatment of their employees... and the lost principle of freedom of association....
From: Walter Block, Rand Paul, And The Lost American Principle Of Freedom Of Association:
Slaves were provided for as children and maintained in sickness and in old age. Northern wage earners, who had no sick leave, job security, or retirement benefits, often wondered if they were not worse off. An antebellum workingman’s newspaper, The Fall River Mechanic, raged about “men who stand and dole out pity for the southern slave but would crush with an iron hand the white laborer of the north.” [The ‘Reparations’ Hoax, Part II, by William Robertson Boggs, American Renaissance, July 1993]
Many Southerners sincerely believed they treated slaves better than Yankee capitalists treated hired workers. As James Hammond, a Southern senator, explained to a colleague from New York: “Our slaves are hired for life and well compensated . . . . Yours are hired by the day, not cared for, and scantily compensated.”
In The Mind of the South, W.J. Cash wrote of the standard that “no one but a cur beat, starved, or overdrove his slaves became a living rule of daily conduct; a standard so binding as to generate contempt for whoever violated it.”
Many owners took pride in the kindness they showed “their people.” Even among Northern abolitionists, there was grudging acknowledgement of a certain noblesse oblige among the better element in the South. It is worth noting that even in that great abolitionist tract, Uncle Tom’s Cabin, the sadistic villain Simon Legree was not a Southern slave owner—but a Yankee overseer.
When Frederick Douglass visited Ireland in the 1840s he was appalled at how the Irish lived. He wrote to William Lloyd Garrison that he was almost “ashamed to lift my voice against American slavery.” [The Liberator, 27 March 1846]
It is deeply unfashionable to acknowledge it today, but the bonds of master and slave were often affectionate. ...
I totally disagree with your racist and perverted comments period. To assume that Southern slavery treated slaves with respect is a lie. Slaves being owned by another human is the total disrespect of another human being. You are wrong on that issue. You are a racist and I will never ally with you in any fashion whatsoever period.
