Blue sky king defending slave owners. He owned 600+ slaves not a good role model. And he got a 13 year old pregnant what a sick rapist.

Nobody’s defending him, but he was a brilliant man and the author of many important documents and the founder of a great university.

Like many significant figures, he was a complex individual with human faults and frailties.

There’s no need to judge him as the poster seems to be doing.
