It's always difficult to sort how the American forefathers thought of jews versus how jews today WANT me to believe the forefathers thought of jews.
I wonder if jews sorted through all Jefferson's writings before the American people ever got ahold of it. Apparently a jew bought his estate.
>Thomas Jefferson and his Democratic-Republican Party went on to win the election and repealed the Alien and Sedition Acts. After Jefferson died in 1827, his estate, Monticello, fell into disrepair. In 1833, Uriah P. Levy, a Jewish naval officer, bought it and restored it. According to the terms of his will, it was to be left to the US government upon his death. But when Levy died in 1862, the Civil War was underway and the Confederacy seized the property. https://jewishcurrents.org/the-long-jewish-relationship-with-thomas-jefferson
Not sure if true. again jews claim many things.
Here is excerpt i find of jefferson being too kind to jewry and even suggesting they be part of government
>"Jefferson returns his thanks to Dr. De La Motta for the eloquent discourse on the Consecration of the Synagogue of Savannah, which he has been so kind as to send him. It excites in him the gratifying reflection that his country has been the first to prove to the world two truths, the most salutary to human society, that man can govern himself, and that religious freedom is the most effectual anodyne against religious dissension: the maxim of civil government being reversed in that of religion, where its true form is "divided we stand, united, we fall." He is happy in the restoration of the Jews, particulary, to their social rights, and hopes they will be seen taking their seats on the benches of science as preparatory to their doing the same at the board of government. He salutes Dr. De La Motta with sentiments of great respect." Jefferson Correspondence Vol 6 p 119
