re: #93 JordanRules

There has been very much written about TJ, Sally Hemmings, all the evidence, etc.

I think it is appropriate for a teacher to ask a student to cite sources for any claim.

FWIW, age 14 was old enough for females, even white females, to be married off in many cultures.

I’m not saying it is right. I think it is wrong.

What I am saying is that when we are going to write about the past we need to cite evidence, then evaluate it in a context that includes the period as well as our own beliefs.
