Notes to the State of Virginia Response

Thomas Jefferson was one of the greatest men if the history of the United States, but after reading Notes to the State of Virginia, I am starting to see a new light to the man that created the Declaration of Independence. Even though Thomas Jefferson seems completely different in each of these documents, it only natural for a human to be unpredictable. But these two documents were actually supposed to be part of the same one. The things that Jefferson talks about in Notes to the State of Virginia, mainly about slavery, don’t seem to resonate when you think about Thomas Jefferson, but really he couldn’t of cared more about the topic. Jefferson seems radically different in Notes to the State of Virginia rather then in the Declaration because no one knew about that side of him, even though he was still the same Jefferson we all know and respect.
