Summary: Interesting, eye-opening
Comment: This is an entertaining and eye-opening book. Although it wasn't written for scholars, it is well-written and anyone who wishes to go beyond the many myths that are taught to most of us in grade school should read it. It is as interesting as Loewen's Lies My Teacher Told Me.

Summary: A little clarification on Jefferson
Comment: I am writing this just to clarify what was revealed by the DNA evidence with Thomas Jefferson. It was concluded that beyond a doubt a Jefferson impregnated Sally Hemmings. It could have been Thomas, or any of his brothers, cousins, sons, father, etc. With all the Jeffersons who surely visited Monticelo, it is impossible to say with any degree of certainty that T. Jefferson was indeed the father of Sally Hemmings's child. Although (insert opinion here) does it really matter? I think one of the most beautiful things about Thomas Jefferson was that he realized his wrongs and understood them as well as anyone else. He claimed that slavery was a trap for not only the slaves, but the slave holders! For him, slavery was an addiction that he could not and did not ever overcome. Read his writings some time and you will find this is true.

Rating: 5
Summary: Excellent
Comment: More people need to read books like this. It is short sweet and full of interesting little know facts about US(North American) history.
