Ellis unravels the contradictions of the Jeffersonian character. He gives us the slaveholding libertarian who was capable of decrying mescegenation while maintaing an intimate relationship with his slave, Sally Hemmings; the enemy of government power who exercisdd it audaciously as president; the visionarty who remained curiously blind to the inconsistencies in his nature. American \u003ci\u003eSphinx\u003c\/i\u003e is a marvel of scholarship, a delight to read, and an essential gloss on the Jeffersonian legacy.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Vintage Books","offers":[{"title":"American Sphinx: The Character of Thomas Jefferson | Joseph J Ellis | Paperback | 9780679764410 | Used: Very Good | Biography 1637765","offer_id":50705786110210,"sku":"1637765","price":21.04,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/3327\/5906\/files\/71f0nR0zJWL.jpg?v=1791659402","url":"https:\/\/boswellsbooks.com\/products\/american-sphinx-the-character-of-thomas-jefferson","provider":"Boswell's Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
