Mixed Feelings
The history of Montiello hasn’t always been revealed due to Jefferson’s ownership and relations with slaves. Progress has certainly been made, but more work needs to be done.
Remaining Questions
While there have been great advances in facts previously unknown about Monticello, there are still questions left to be answered. Jefferson did keep a log of all his slaves, but there are only a few photo portraits of what they looked like and little details about most of their lives.
