Great summary. (4.00 / 1)
Yes, a most amazing man.  Jefferson doesn't come out looking too good in that documentary.

I think that he's probably the most underrated founder, with Madison being a close second.  I wonder if this always was the case.  In my own field, you see things happening during the 19th century that influence the way 18th century history is viewed today; I wonder if there was any sort of shift like that in the esteem of our founders.
