Thomas Jefferson lived a love story that spanned the American Revolutionary War. Martha Jefferson ('Patty') married him on 1/1/1772, and she died on 9/6/1782. What is not much known now is that Patty was an ardent abolitionist, and she fostered such an abolitionist fever in her husband that arguably, Patty’s death caused the Civil War. The Jeffersons were working on how to lead an immediate, peaceful abolition in the United States that could have happened around 1800. But he was so destroyed by Patty’s death that instead, he left Virginia for decades. And he became the first Secretary of State, the second Vice President, and the third President of the United States.My Thomas is a well-researched and very accurate biography of Thomas Jefferson’s beautiful marriage to Martha Wales Skelton that spanned the Revolutionary War, written as a highly enjoyable love story.
