So hard to pick favorites, but I’ve always respected Jefferson for challenging his own principles and going forward with the Louisiana Purchase.

Updinged for the reason, but not for the man. The whole raping his slave (yeah, by definition a slave cannot give consent, Sally Hemmings was raped) thing makes me question what the word “principles” even means to such a creature.
