This quote is about justice to me. Truth shall break free and woe to you who hide behind those in current power thinking your evil deeds will never come to light. Some blindly follow people in power, thinking that some things are small evil. But dear readers, there is NO such thing as a little evil. Evil is Evil. There is nothing ever small about it.
This is not to say that Jefferson was evil. He had slaves, all inherited if memory serves - he manumitted some of them, at different times in his life. He is of course, best known for writing the Declaration of Independence. It is a most inspiring piece of work.
Quite as inspiring as Lincoln's Gettysburg address.

Truth crushed to earth shall rise again.
Influential poet and newspaper editor William Cullen Bryant (born November 3, 1794) had his first poem in print at age 13—it was an attack of Thomas Jefferson's political philosophy. Later, he delivered the introduction for Abraham Lincoln at the famed Cooper Union Speech, which secured Lincoln's nomination for presidency.
