{"product_id":"the-jefferson-lies-338476","title":"The Jefferson Lies","description":"**America, in so many ways, has forgotten. Its roots, its purpose, its identity**?all have become shrouded behind a veil of political correctness bent on twisting the nation's founding, and its founders, to fit within a misshapen modern world.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The time has come to remember again.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e In *The Jefferson Lies*, prominent historian David Barton sets out to correct the distorted image of a once-beloved founding father, Thomas Jefferson. To do so, Barton tackles seven myths head-on, including:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e * Did Thomas Jefferson really have a child by his young slave girl, Sally Hemings?\u003cbr\u003e* Did he write his own Bible, excluding the parts of Christianity with which he disagreed?\u003cbr\u003e* Was he a racist who opposed civil rights and equality for black Americans?\u003cbr\u003e* Did he, in his pursuit of separation of church and state, advocate the secularizing public life?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Through Jefferson's own words and the eyewitness testimony of contemporaries, Barton repaints a portrait of the man from Monticello as a visionary, an innovator, a man who revered Jesus, a classical Renaissance man?and a man whose pioneering stand for liberty and God-given inalienable rights fostered a better world for this nation and its posterity. For America, the time to remember these truths again is now.","brand":"Koorong","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51570259656991,"sku":"9781595554598","price":37.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0925\/8981\/8143\/files\/9781595554598_548291.jpg?v=1769344139","url":"https:\/\/koorong.com\/products\/the-jefferson-lies-338476","provider":"Koorong","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
