The Secret Sexual Sins of the Founding Fathers and America: The Tragedy of Abused Slave Women - Paperback

For the first time, Dr. Phillip Thomas Tucker's two groundbreaking volumes entitled The Secret Sexual Sins of the Founding Fathers and America, The Tragedy of Abused Slave Women has demonstrated that the famous intimate relationship between Thomas Jefferson and Sally Hemings was nothing unusual or anything out of the ordinary across America from the beginning. After the arrival of the first slaves at Jamestown in the Colony of Virginia during the summer of 1619, the sexual intermixing of black and white became a widespread development across the breath of America. Some of America's most famous men in the nation's history, including Founding Fathers Thomas Jefferson and George Washington, had intimate relationships with female slaves over the course of centuries. Tucker has presented a fascinating "new look" perspective about the black experience and the most ignored and controversial chapter in the annals of black women's history.
