Both men owned slaves, both fought for freedom from Great Britain, one signed the US Constitution, the other refused, one set his slaves free, while the other felt enslaved. Log-line for Original Intentions: An intelligent but stubborn old man must be disloyal to his long time (and famous) friend to prevent the future prospects of his children and grandchildren from obstruction and/or enslavement.
