According to discription of her she appeared to be white and not black as her mother was half white. Not sure if her father was white or black. Maybe in Jeffersons saw her as being a white woman and not black or mulatto. Which is why I asked how kallend knew she was raped. Maybe Jefferson just saw her as an attractive woman.

I'm still waiting to hear why he thinks Jefferson was an adulterer. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just how "consenting" and "willing" can a slave be? By definition, not at all.... The only sure way to survive a canopy collision is not to have one.
