Montcello, you would have seen jeffersons neoclassical villa. But we wanted to restore the landscape of slavery. Because if you had come up this mountain top in jeffersons time, the first thing you would see most likely would have been enslaved people. There would have been no place on this mountain top slavery wasnt visible. And we want to restore that, make that known to visitors who come here today. So were now in the middle of recreating or restoring dwellings along mullberry row, that main plan tashz street. As well as rooms attached to the house just behind us. So all of this is part of an effort to sort of shift the focus away from just jefferson and talk about the dozens offing other people who essentially made his life possible. Right now were actually just near jeffersons main house, the pulaidian mansion he built throughout his life and were standing next to mullberry row which is the main plantation street, about 1,300 feet through archeology and documentary research. We kn

Book tv is unfi twitter and facebook. And government decided to get more tax revenue if we got rid of these lower middleclass home replace them with highrises, restaurants and Office Spaces for the private Company Pfizer so they took the home away using their eminent do main power under the constitution, and, of course, when the homeowners objected they said you cant take away our Property Rights, you have to use the public use thats what the constitution says. It says you can use Eminent Domain power for the highway, like a highway a military base, a post office, expanding road there are lots of public uses that we can think of. But of course one thing we know public use doesnt mean it is private use and picking away private property using it a private Company Seems like a private juice so they have it up to the United States Supreme Court and shockingly the court said it was perfectly fine to take away these private homes to give away to a private company because public use was the p
Seats so they could then control the state legislature, so they could then change the districts consistent with the bulk gerrymandering scheme. And the result is states like senator browns where, when he was reelected, he was on the ballot with president obama who was also reelected, and the majority of the votes cast in his state for members of congress were cast for democrats, and against that background, many more republicans than democrats actually went to congress in that election. A similar thing happened in pennsylvania, and my recollection is that on the same set of facts, senator casey, the democrat reelected, president obama reelected, and a majority of pennsylvania votes cast for democratic members of congress, the delegation was 13 republicans and five democrats. Somebody is messing around and it was a 54 Republican Supreme Court that opened that can of worms and unleashed red map on the political landscape. They have a chance to review that now, and senator mccain has writ

Just now, we are actually near jeffersons main house, the palladian mansion he built throughout his life, and we are standing next to military row, which is the main plantation street at monticello, through archaeology and documentary research, we know that over 20 workshops, storehouses, and dwellings lined this street. There were in slaved families he
