That's what you think of as him being weird and awkward?
He enslaved his own kids.
To the point that when he was ambassador to France, they noted down that one of his servants (no slavery in France at the time) was obviously related to him and how that was really weird.
Ok, but let's try to be fair here... Those were the children of slaves. Yes, perhaps the slaves that Jefferson raped, but what is he going to do, not enslave them? Lol
