Question

true or false? the highlighted quotes below are from a primary source published in a secondary source. the contention that some historians have deliberately deceived the public about what kind of person thomas jefferson was seems supported in this excerpt from an article published in the october 2012 issue of smithsonian magazine: a letter has recently come to light describing how monticellos young black boys, \the small ones,\ age 10, 11 or 12, were whipped to get them to work in jeffersons nail factory, whose profits paid the mansions grocery bills. this passage about children being lashed had been suppressed - deliberately deleted from the published record in the 1953 edition of jeffersons farm book, containing 500 pages of plantation papers.
