This locates Thomas Jefferson's thought in a late Newtonian Enlightenment, a period between ancient and modern modes of explaining change in time. It follows Jefferson in his creation of an influential narrative of American and global history over the course of half a century, opening avenues into Jefferson's thinking about time and history, and offering new assessments of the solutions Jefferson and his generation found to the central moral problem of slavery.
