Too stunning a topic not to study if you live in the USA. The detailed discussions about the daily lives and interactions of slaves and Thomas Jefferson is a unique experience. The personal side of Jefferson will certainly alter your perception of him. Appreciate the complex psychology that existed between him, slaves, and his own children. Multimedia, video, audio,images My only complaints is that it is very broken up-you have to constantly interact with the app to move from element to element

Very educational and informative, but sad at the same time, when you consider the people who had no control of their own lives.

Racecar is a hat for people. If you are friends with me tell me that you saw this review. Lol lol lol okay it is a taco. Wear a shirt and eat food. It will help you live in a wood house. If ham is red do not have a party in a bus.

This app is an excellent exploration of the individuals and families who built, maintained, and were the majority of the residents at Monticello. Do yourself a favor and really spend time exploring the app, both on-site and off.
