When Annette Gordon-Reed's groundbreaking study was first published, rumors of Thomas Jefferson's sexual involvement with his slave Sally Hemings had circulated for two centuries. Among all aspects of Jefferson's renowned life, it was perhaps the most hotly contested topic. Thomas Jefferson and Sally Hemings intensified this debate by identifying glaring inconsistencies in many noted scholars' evaluations of the existing evidence. In this study, Gordon-Reed assembles a fascinating and convincing argument that the evidence for the affair has been denied a fair hearing.

what stood out most about the book was the authors ability to take into account the underlying historical context

Although I had to read this as a requirement for school, I did enjoy the way Gordon-Reed presented evidence and how she would analyze primary and outside sources. However, I must say that the book is essentially a glorified essay and at times can seem repetitive and present information that can make you wonder, “Why is this necessary?”. It’s easy to get lost and misunderstand. So unless you’re prepared and understand the critical thinking required for these types of books, I would recommend.
