Harriet Washington, in 'Medical Apartheid: The Dark History of Medical Experimentation on Black Americans from Colonial Times to the Present,' documents the smallpox experiments Thomas Jefferson performed on his Monticello slaves. In fact, much of what we now think of as public health emerged from the slave system.

Harriet Washington, in "Medical Apartheid: Die dunkle Geschichte der medizinischen Experimente an schwarzen Amerikanern von der Kolonialzeit bis in die Gegenwart", dokumentiert die Pockenexperimente, die Thomas Jefferson an seinen Monticello-Sklaven durchgeführt hat. Vieles von dem, was wir heute als öffentliche Gesundheit meinen, ist aus dem Sklaven-System hervorgegangen.

The American world had - seemingly, at least - become a Jeffersonian world by the election of 1800, which placed Thomas Jefferson in the presidency. Jefferson had been Hamilton's rival in the new government's early years, and Hamilton has figured in the public memory almost as much for that rivalry as for his positive achievements.
