             The documentary on Sally Hemings was interesting. Sally's life and the relation ship with Thomas Jefferson was even intriguing and interesting life. Some may say she was lucky and some may say she was not treated fair enough. Sally was not a normal slave she had benefits that a normal slave wouldn't have. Sally also had a relationship with Thomas Jefferson. Sally also had kids in which they had a better chance at life than she did.
             Sally was not a normal slave. It is true that she was owned by Thomas Jefferson who gave Sally certain privileges that normal slaves didn't have. When Sally was younger she had a chance to go to London. Sally was more of a servant than a slave; she did more work around the house than out in a field. Even though Sally had been freed but did not leave Virginia, instead she stayed and took care of her children and the law at that time stated that once a slave is freed then they must leave within a year.
