I very much agree with this! As Sir Isaac Newton wrote, "If I have seen further it is because I stand on the shoulders of giants." We can see farther than Jefferson and Washington and Adams because we are beneficiaries of centuries of mistakes and successes, made by the giants that they are. Those who seek to cancel these great men do so because they cannot see beyond their own noses, turned up to prevent them from smelling their own fetid breath.

One of the things that Jefferson did was to learn both Hebrew and Arabic, he wanted to know why so many people, primarily Newton had been fascinated with Torah when he figured out there was a code within the language that no other religious writing had this intrigued Newton more than any other scientific theory. The reason he learnt Arabic was to study the Quran and his findings were earth shattering then as now. When he said that Islam wasn't compatible with the kind of government that was being crafted in the colonies. He wasn't trying to be just a hater of Islam but somebody who used not only the actual written verses and things that were written by scholars who at the time of his studies he had to now what was the reality behind the words.

I really appreciate how Dr Yarbrough sticks to the facts, what we know for certain from historical record, from DNA, but then places everything in historical context...you know, like a historian.

Amazing how some people just keep spewing their ignorance.

Back in 1976-77, when I was still living in the Soviet Union, I read a review about some book about American Revolution that had just came out in the US. While the review (in the Soviet paper!) was overall positive, it criticized the book for unfairness: "Thomas Jefferson became famous because he wrote the Declaration of Independence, not because he had a black lover." That was in a Soviet paper!

This is fascinating and explains why I’m up til 4:30 am. It’s also much needed now with all the cancel culture. I frequently put Douglas Murray in KZread search to watch anything new he has. I had never even heard of him until this horrible Oct 7 attack on Israel. I’ve always been quite liberal, seeing it as pro humanity but now shocked to see it has been liberals/democrats who are against Israel immediately 🎉🎉after the massacre, even before Israel started to fight back. I’m listening to information from Mr. Murray and other more conservative people. I support Israel 100% and I am very worried about the loss of free speech this awful, priggish cancel culture censorship brings. I have really come to understand Jordan Peterson. I didn’t get him on this issue at first. I’m 71 and remember my parents, all the adults, right after Dad got home from Battle of the Bulge. Freedom was so treasured then and I thought United States was always going to help protect Israel.

Im 45 but to see him referred to as "more conservative" is so odd to me. People have completely bastardized the word liberal & it drives me nuts. He is around my same age & says just about everything Ive thought/said for years & like myself Douglas is a traditional actual moderate common sense liberal, not what many ppl consider to be "liberal" nowdays. These neo-liberals are all anti-liberal. No actual liberal would nominate themselves as the dictator of what is "hate speech" (and as these neo-liberals are nowdays be so completely off base, absolutely wrong about what they deem as that). No actual liberal would be supporting anyone other than Israel, nor would they be projecting everything the other side actually is onto Israel. To say they are ill informed is a massive oversimplified understatement & some of them arent interested in the facts they're deliberate in their intentions of demonizing Isr. due to their background & upbringing (and a portion of that group having spent time "training" in Iran). And yes, seems the only actual "free speech" allowed nowdays by the media & even here on YT is from all the above, not ppl attempting to get the facts out there (or it can be said in a non-monetized video, but cant be posted as a comment or it'll be deleted

Hearing facts in this day and age is so uplifting.

Glad to know that there are professors like Prof. Yarbrough still teaching students.

This was absolutely amazing! Thank you so much for not allowing the great founders to be lost in history. There may be social and humanities issues in question, but that is no reason to condemn everything that he ever did and deny his place in our past.

Jefferson is the most important of all of our founding fathers (and yes, ALL of them are important). Without him, our country might not exist today... or not in its current form. For me, he's irreplaceable. Virtually all historians know this to be true, so it's deeply saddening that so few of them are willing to say so out loud.

I hope you plan to do one on Thomas Paine as well. 😁 Also, I believe the quote you were thinking of regarding slaves was: “No body wishes more than I do to see such proofs as you exhibit, that nature has given to our black brethren, talents equal to those of the other colors of men, and that the appearance of a want of them is owing merely to the degraded condition of their existence, both in Africa & America.” ―Thomas Jefferson

A multitude of new(to me) and interesting perspectives. Very well done.

The greatest influence on Jefferson would have been the writings and ideas promoted by Thomas Paine. The basic ideas were published in Paine’s book “Common Sense” read by hundreds of thousands of colonial citizens about the rights of freedom. He was a key founder of the age of reason and the Enlightenment. George Washington helped bring Paine to America from England where these ideas were evolving.

Nice use of my time. Excellent presentation mature great series. I’m hooked on it now. People really forget he was acting, living in the 1700’s 1800’s not 2023 mind set. I learned the smart ones started to move toward it, nothing is done overnight (again 1800’s) be practical. Shows you how far people empathize with the knowledge of what it was like living back then. Narrow minded is what we used to call it. How did Europe magically disappear when we talk about slavery? Why do they get a pass? Look at colonialism, it’s a different word for slavery but in the Macro view. Well show enjoyed it.

Unfortunately, Ms. Yarborough's book on Thomas Jefferson is not available as an Amazon Kindle selection.

Schools and Streets are getting new names, Books are getting changed - because the author didn’t have the same morals that we have today. I don’t understand this blaming and judging of people who sometimes lived thousands of years ago and naturally were children of their time. We ought to be careful not to destroy our very own roots.

These are brilliant Douglas.

You forget that the Republic of Venice was still in existence and had for centuries. Jefferson was also influenced politically by the quasi-democracy of the early medieval Scandinavians (Vikings) and the Iroquois Confederacy.

Nathaniel Jeanson has done an excellent job of showing how all people appear to be related to 3 couples, who lived about 4500 years ago. This would have solved Jefferson's problems with races.

All so they can advance their odious ideologies. These universities were formed as divinity schools to teach the emerging American identity piety, godliness, morality, in the doing becoming better citizens which intern would lead to a more stable and prosperous nation. Instead they use the position and authority their history has garnered them to bring the nation down into base ignorance.
