Relationship is a very broad term & in the purest sense, he had at least an OWNERSHIP relationship with all his slaves..
Sally Hemmings was his slave but he apparently also was sexually intimate & several of her children's ancestors have Jefferson's DNA.
Sally & most of Jefferson's slaves came as dowery from his wifes family when they married.
Sally may have also been a half sister to Jefferson's first wife, meaning his father-in law, was intimate with Sally's mother... That slave thing got pretty involved & confusing, with a lot of blurred moral lines crossed.
Obviously.
Yes! Thomas Jefferson treated his slaves like they were family.
Some slave masters in history include Thomas Jefferson, George Washington, and John C. Calhoun.
Sally Hemmings. She was the slave of Thomas Jefferson and had his children.
Sally Hemings was a slave who was owned by Thomas Jefferson. There is DNA evidence that either Thomas Jefferson or a close relative of Jefferson had children with her.
Thomas Jefferson's relationship with his slave mistress, Sally Hemings, was complex and deeply rooted in the social and racial dynamics of the time. While he fathered several children with her, historical accounts suggest that their relationship was marked by a power imbalance, as Hemings was enslaved and had limited agency. Jefferson provided some degree of care and protection for Hemings and their children, but they remained subject to the harsh realities of slavery. Overall, the nature of their relationship reflects the contradictions of Jefferson's views on liberty and human rights.
