Join me this week as I dive into the presidential administration of one of our most complicated and controversial figures, Thomas Jefferson.
A man filled with contradictions, Jefferson could be both a brilliant visionary and a walking hypocrite. He supported limited government, until the Louisiana Purchase; opposed the Alien and Sedition Acts until he was attacked.
Complex and challenging, Jefferson remains one of the most interesting and controversial figures in American history.

This week I am discussing Congress' decision to eliminate the international slave trade in 1808. While a key first step in the abolition of chattel slavery, the federal law did little to blunt the spread of slavery throughout the country.
