My 7th grade trip was to Williamsburg and the Mont because of 9/11...I loved it. ten years later, I don't regret it. I told my father (when I came home) "if I'm ever a billionaire, one day, the Monticello is all that I want"
I have Lafayette draft a declaration Then I said I gotta go Gotta be in Monticello Now the work at home begins... So what did I miss? What did I miss? Virginia my home sweet home I wanna give you a kiss *(mwah)* hmmm
1. Would've been nice to show the view from the edge of the top-as like an island in the sky because the sides drop away so abruptly you don't see but the treetops; 2. His building architecture included tall ceilings to cool the incoming floor level air; 3. Visitors are also told that Jefferson passed away penniless....
When I visited Monticello several years ago I was surprised that it appeared so small. It is not as large as most of the 19th Century mansions that I have visited.
Jefferson was a great man and a product of his time, he did more for society than any of you haters could do in 10 lifetimes. be respectful to our forefathers please.
Have this and other historical houses of this era been updated with modern amenities such as electrcity and plumbing? I've been to Monticello, but it's been over 50 years ago and I don't remember now.
Jefferson: In Virginia, we creat you just wanna move our money around Hamilton: keep ranting we know who is really doing the planting Jefferson: don’t tax the south if New York is in debt why should Virginia bear it Hamilton: hey neighbour you debts are payed cuz you don’t pay for labour Hahah sorry I had to
Hmmm… I wonder who made all of this beautiful house / gardens possible ? Enslaved people. This film is disingenuous by glorifying Jefferson. We must see the full humanity of the people we revere. The conflict of Jefferson who wrote all men are created equal and at the same time buying and selling black bodies to pay his debts. We must look at all of this in order to make progress toward our ideals in our country.
Ok but he build the free world and save humanity from slavery. So easy to be woke 200 years after greatness has been accomplished by true hero, I should try sometime….
Sorry for a 2 year late reply haha. There are some of the interior measurements on the monticello website. There is also a very basic first floor plan on google images. If you actually want all the measurements, elevation drawings, and detailed floor plans there is a book on amazon with everything monticello. I think theres a link to it somewhere on the monticello website.
Just started this aerial series.... I'm p!ssed season 1 Virginia episode inaccurate Arthur ashe information... Althea Gibson was African American & won more than decade before ashe - I'm stunned they haven't dubbed a correction.... trust but verify before you quote from series
Because we all already know that and have for decades (at least I did) it happened over two hundred years ago? Because Jefferson was a brilliant man who set up the best government with freedoms like the Bill of Rights. Because we don't want to view history through the crazy lens of an uneducated SJW? Hope that answers your question. Please stop viewing history through this modern day lens! Jefferson was against slavery. Yes, he had slaves. Yes, he fathered children with slaves. He also provided the very freedoms that all Americans have today which does NOT include slavery! Blacks in the USA have more freedom than any other black person in the whole of the world. We all do, white, black, asian. It will help you to stop getting triggered if you READ and study history and learn that history needs to be put into context. Again, two hundred years ago. America is the ONLY let me repeat the ONLY country in the world where a bus driver or a dishwasher can have a son or daughter and that child can become President of the United States. It is called "upward mobility" and other countries do not have it. WE DO. Even in England if you or born to middle class you will stay middle class and so on. America is not like that. Are we perfect? No, but that is why our system of government that Jefferson conceived and birthed allows for us to change what we don't like through voting.
They were only the labor. The fact is Jefferson did the math and design and was the architect. You certainly don't see homes like this in West Africa do you.
he build the free world and save humanity from slavery. So easy to be woke 200 years after greatness has been accomplished by true hero, I should try sometime, just to « feel » good about my self
The fact they let shoes in there on that wood floor is a disgrace to thomas jefferson . Im sure he is rolling over in his grave . Wear some cotton slip ons . Shoes and hard wood floors dont go together unless you want scratches and high wear.
And your point? So are you suggesting that just because it was a plantation at one time and it's now a museum, we should not want to enlighten ourselves and learn history? Is that your argument? "Oh no, there is a history book, close it quick or you will learn something".
@@ednakelley814 Ummm, no I said none of that. It formally being a plantation is part of its history right? So how come the entirety of the history is not being told. That’s what I meant. If we’re going to talk about history let’s talk about it all!
@@bullhead900 I've seen atleast three comments of you only defending Jefferson, he deserves criticism just like any one else. And even so, his pro slavery stance also spearheaded America into the bloodiest war in us history, and has led scares and discrimination to 16% of this country's population.
Please america, save your heritage and venerate your hero. Do not fall into wokism, burning your own great heritage. Great america is a better world for all, burn america is a nightmare for everyone. I’m sad to hear that the tour is becoming more and more « woke »…
@@bullhead900 Yes, in the fact he authored the Declaration of Independence. We can find charater flaws in everyone, even you. Should we do that with you? FInd a flaw in you and then define your entire life by that? That seems to be your measuring stick

Not one mention of being a slaveholder & the baby-daddy to at least Sally Jennings - maybe more. I didn't know Sally, but I'm multicultural, and I've driven through VA many times. I want my reperations $$ NOW - with interest.
When I went to Monticello I saw the stunning view
I went to Monticello and Mount Vernon a few years ago and I loved it. Wanna go again with my best friend
“Doing whatever the hell it is you do in Monticello”

No one tell the uncultured people, let them figure it out
if we assume the debts, the union gets a new line of credit a financial diuretic
HOW do you not get it? If were aggressive and competitive, the union gets a boost, you'd rather give it a sedative

What does 9/11 have to do with any of that?
@@loopje clearly you are not an American. It dictated where you could travel on field trips.
Monticello is on the nickle
Yeah, it looks so cool!
I had no idea
On the us money! Lol!
I snatched that coin up
Always makes for a nice day trip for me!
I heard about secret tunnels in Monticello. Next time can you make a video?
This was his plantation
Thit was interesting. Thankyou for sharing!
my family and I just went to Monicello, it was beautiful!
Diana Neilson just went, isn't it incredible?
how can I go about visiting ?
Loved it ever since a field trip to it in the 3rd grade!
@@joet8814 visit Virginia and ride up there.
I have Lafayette draft a declaration

Gotta be in Monticello
Now the work at home begins...
So what did I miss?
What did I miss?

I visited this place when I was kid for a school field trip. Pretty cool.
However....what does "Joe's Book for the...." mean?
WOW 😮 LOVE ❤️ THE PROPERTY AWSOME
I am going there soon. Nice video!
Once as a young man I dreamed of building my self a house with same characteristics.
Jefferson was a great man and a product of his time, he did more for society than any of you haters could do in 10 lifetimes. be respectful to our forefathers please.
Yes. He was a great man that owned over 600 slaves in his lifetime and only freed two during his lifetime and five in his will.
@@ISeeYouComeBackToMe "Product of his time"
fay by jefferson’s time, slavery had been an inherent fact to life on earth since biblical times. slavery was always normal until the 19th century.
Run Gunn you know karl marx was a white nationalist?
I didn’t realized Jefferson had “haters”
Who is here after reading Ta-Naheesi Coate's "The Water Dancer" and watching Oprah's Book Club show in Apple TV?
Are we going to talk about WHO picked those vegetables and herbs?
Not important. He was way too important to do actual gardening work anyway :)
What's important is his intellectual contributions and legacy.
@@PrideDefileryes it is important
knoledge, proportion and good taste
Beautiful property
Have this and other historical houses of this era been updated with modern amenities such as electrcity and plumbing? I've been to Monticello, but it's been over 50 years ago and I don't remember now.
VictrolaJazz no
When we went this year, they had air conditioning and electricity. Not sure about plumbing.
There's also stores inside the building, that sell merch.
Went a few days ago. I only saw sprinkler heads.
When you live in arkansas where they pronounce it monti-sell-oh it just sounds plain wrong to pronounce it like that lol
In New Zealand it’s pronounced montI-car-low
@@teddyroosevelt6508 really? Jeez that sounds so weird to me🤣
He grew 250 types of vegetables. That’s a lot. I wonder how he was able to grow that many 🤔🤔
Farm equipment.
@Terence McClain Unfortunately, slaves.
Slaves
@@DarkMatterX1Unfortunately his farm equipment was slaves
‘where he planted’ yeah keep ranting, we know who’s really doing the planting.
Well done!!
“Your debts are paid cuz you don’t pay for labor”
I was there
*Thomas Jefferson wants to know your location*
@Thomas Jefferson omfg hi Jeff
@Ethan Pavon forgot about this comment tbh
T Jefferson Monticello right?
Edgar Allan Poe. DAYYYYUMMMM!!!
There are 43 rooms in that building?
I think it meant on the entite property
42 Rooms??!
It looked like a poolhouse lol
Wahoowa!
A Jefferson Mansion.
Also a graduate of William and Mary!
La mejor casa que existe es un cementerio ⛼ nada más. Tienen mucha gente en África y Haití también no hay ningúna lugares para dormir 😴
I know you did not just use "avid horticulturist"💀
Yeah the architects built his home...
we know who really built it.
Jefferson: In Virginia, we creat you just wanna move our money around
Hamilton: keep ranting we know who is really doing the planting
Jefferson: don’t tax the south if New York is in debt why should Virginia bear it
Hamilton: hey neighbour you debts are payed cuz you don’t pay for labour
Hahah sorry I had to
He was the brains behind it.
@@bullhead900 but slaves built it.... there’s no excuse

It's amazing that the slaves were owned and treated so poorly yet were really skilled laborers like this.

Why?
