Founding Brothers: The Revolutionary Generation 2000-10-17T00:00:00Z And that, in the end, is what the dialogue with Jefferson became, and the best way to understand its historical significance.

Founding Brothers: The Revolutionary Generation 2000-10-17T00:00:00Z And in both instances, Jefferson managed to convince himself that these apparent contradictions were, well, merely apparent.

Founding Brothers: The Revolutionary Generation 2000-10-17T00:00:00Z In a sense, Adams was saying that he understood the psychological forces driving Jefferson’s escape to Monticello better than Jefferson himself. Founding Brothers: The Revolutionary Generation 2000-10-17T00:00:00Z The case Madison had tried to make for the Potomac was simultaneously crafty and driven by romantic illusions about its prowess that were shared by Jefferson, Washington, and most members of the Virginia dynasty.

Founding Brothers: The Revolutionary Generation 2000-10-17T00:00:00Z As far as Jefferson’s description of Virginia’s allegedly egalitarian conditions were concerned, “No Romance would be more amusing.” Founding Brothers: The Revolutionary Generation 2000-10-17T00:00:00Z Jefferson concurred, though the subject touched the most explosive issue of all—namely, the unmentionable fact of slavery.
