Even if Jefferson had intended this as an insult, variant spelling of names was so common that his readers would not have recognized it. Forbes relies on dubious literary inferences, too, such as similarities between Jefferson’s word choices and those of other writers, when these are probably just coincidences. For example, he claims in one footnote that Jefferson’s repeated misspelling of Phillis Wheatley’s name was “an intentional slight, not a slip.” He offers no proof of this, and the reality is that Jefferson had idiosyncratic spelling habits, as did many of his contemporaries he persisted in some errors his entire life (he never did figure out the difference between “its” and “it’s,” for example). Instead of dispassionately seeking to understand Jefferson as he understood himself, Forbes’s argument rests largely on his own characterizations of Jefferson’s wording based on 21st-century attitudes. This is an extraordinary assertion, and Forbes does not prove it.
In his eyes, the Sage of Monticello used Notes as “an opportunity” to “decouple” black people from the equality principle and to establish “a rhetoric of authority that explicitly rejects appeals to reason, logic, or law.” In other words, Jefferson was consciously fashioning a “subtl brillian” stratagem for depriving black people of their claim to liberty.
He claims Jefferson created those attitudes. Excerpt:įorbes.is not content with saying that Jefferson’s ideas on race reflected majority attitudes. Alas, as is the fashion nowadays, the book goes out of its way to try to find nefarious motives behind Jefferson's writing of the book, even when simpler, more obvious explanations are probably correct.
