Original Note:
The quote "The only good Indian is a dead Indian" is from Civil War General Phillip Sheridan, not Roosevelt. There is no evidence Jefferson ever raped child slaves. Dentures made with slaves' teeth were very common at the time--which Washington paid his slaves for. https://www.mynortheaster.com/news/rumors-abound-who-was-philip-sheridan/ https://www.mountvernon.org/george-washington/health/washingtons-teeth/george-washington-and-slave-teeth/#callout-3
