Some years ago I took the Monticello tour focused on


Jefferson’s enslaved laborers. It was the first time I’d ever heard them called “enslaved” and not “slaves.” Not once did the guide use the word “slaves.” It suddenly made so much sense as I thought about it. Slaves are not who they were. Enslavement was what was done to them.
