Abstract:
The results of a detailed analysis of the faunal remains from the slave dwelling known as Building “o” at Monticello, Thomas Jefferson’s well-known Virginia plantation, do not conform with the expected slave quarter faunal pattern in that more complete carcasses and higher quality cuts of meat are represented. The bone assemblage contrasts with the lower quality meats found in the Storehouse at Monticello, which also is thought to have been occupied by slaves. This raises the issue of differences in meat diet within the slave community at Monticello, and it is suggested that either higher status or a complex taphonomic history involving the deposition of mixed plantation refuse may explain the patterning that is present.

Abstract:
While Mount Vernon, Monticello, Montpelier, and Highland work to recover the lives of people enslaved by Washington, Jefferson, Madison, and Monroe, their institutional missions emphasize the importance of these four men within American history. The resulting impediments to honoring Black lives within these spaces can be best understood using the analytical framework of reputational politics and by recognizing the roles visitors have in reproducing the reputations of the presidents and the women and men they enslaved. We base our examination of visitors’ participation in these reputational politics on a systematic documentation of tours and exhibits combined with surveys of visitors. Our results suggest that there are significant differences among the four sites in how visitors balance the reputations of enslaved communities with those of the Founding Fathers. On the whole, the emphasis on the presidents’ important positions within American social memory continues to inhibit efforts to honor Black lives at presidential plantation museums.

Abstract:
Abstract Fire! The word struck fear into every homeowner in colonial America. In a land where homes were shingled with wood, heated by wood, and lit with candles, fires were inevitable. All a person could do was to take some modest precautions and then try not to worry about the damage an errant spark might cause. There is no evidence to indicate that Thomas Jefferson, the youthful master of the family plantation in the Virginia Piedmont known as Shadwell, was worried about the mansion house there when he left home one February afternoon in 1770 to conduct some business in nearby Charlottesville. Already he had been master of Shadwell for half his life, since the death of his father, Peter Jefferson, thirteen years earlier. Having left the property countless times before, occasionally for months at a stretch, he had no reason to be more concerned this day than any other.

Abstract:
Lewis examines the way that two of Jefferson’s grandchildren sought to absolve their grandfather of the responsibility for fathering the children of Sally Hemings, a woman enslaved on his plantation. They lied, claiming that one of Jefferson’s nephews fathered the children, each grandchild picking a different nephew. The grandchildren thus rejected the “shadow family” that they had grown up with at Monticello, as if it were their duty to preserve the family honor.

Abstract:
Abstract Environmental philosophies emphasizing food and the problems associated with industrial agriculture are brought into dialog with recent philosophical work stressing feminism and identity, but laying primary emphasis on the philosophy of race. Building on Chapter 7’s discussion of the agrarian commitments of 18th- and 19th-century natural history, Charles Mills’s notion of a racial contract is the chapter’s primary orientation to the philosophy of race and notions of white supremacy. Two points of linkage are developed. Oppression within food systems occurs when any form of gender or racial violence or stereotyping is deployed to consign groups to lower-status positions or exploit their contribution for white males. Plantation slavery is a key example. Work in the philosophy of race should lay more emphasis on the role of plantation agriculture in perpetuating the institution of racist slaveholding. The second form is displacement of food systems, or the annihilation of an oppressed group’s ability to practice their foodways and agricultural methods. Displacement of indigenous populations is a key example, but recent calls for food sovereignty also reflect this concern. A detailed discussion of Thomas Jefferson’s views on race, slavery, and key elements of his presidency as well as his management of his Monticello plantation are examined to exemplify both types of racism in the early American republic. The chapter concludes with some speculation on alternative agrarianisms that might help counter the thrusts and implications of Jeffersonian agrarianism.
