Jefferson & Hemings: Another Bad Pro-Paternity Argument Exploded!

Monticello and revisionist Jeffersonian scholars constantly assert that Jefferson's paternity of all of Sally Hemings' children follows almost necessarily from the 1998 DNA study and the wealth of historical data favoring it--the Consilience Argument. In this video, I destroy the Consilience Argument. The DNA study shows only that Jefferson could have fathered the last child, Eston, and that is a relatively insubstantial claim, and there is no wealth of historical data. There is only the questionable testimony of Madison Hemings in 1873, and that has been shown problematic in a prior video.
