Negro President: Jefferson and the Slave Power
by Wills, Garry
|
| |
| Thomas Jefferson won the election of 1800 with electoral votes derived from the three-fifths representation of slaves, who could not vote but who were partially counted as citizens. The outcome made some Federalists call Jefferson the Negro President -- one elected only by the margin of the slave count. Probing the heart of Jefferson's presidency, Wills reveals how the might of the slave states was a concern behind his most important decisions and policies, including the strategy to expand the nation west. | | |
