Abraham Lincoln was born in humble surroundings, a one-room log cabin with dirt floors in Hardin County, Kentucky. His father, Thomas Lincoln, could not read and could barely sign his name. He was a stern man whom young Abe never liked very much. Himself born to impoverished parents, Thomas Lincoln was a farmer and carpenter who moved the family from rural Kentucky to frontier Indiana when young Abe was seven years old. Thomas built a crude 360-square foot log cabin where he lived with his wife, Abe, and elder daughter, Sarah.

1. Why would the fact that Jeffersons owned slaves (a true fact) cause the Professor to not discuss him in a college class? 2-3

meriva

Answer:

Is that the professor's reason for not discussing Jefferson...he owned slaves? I assumed you asked the professor? I can see no reason why Jefferson shouldn't be discussed. If any other person is discussed during that time frame, well, sorry...they all owned slaves and that is an invalid excuse imo.
