    Mr. Jackson skipped his eventful time spent in the Washington District, over the mountains in present day Northeast Tennessee.

    I wonder if the accent for Jefferson this actor portrayed is accurate 🤔

    Unfortunately, there are no audio recordings of Jefferson so we don't know his accent, but Mr. Barker has studied and portrayed him for over 30 years so it's probably as accurate as possible.
