The notion that Thomas Jefferson had a revelation in 1819 and suddenly subscribed to the idea of “dissemination” is utterly false. Regardless, this belief is as widespread as it is erroneous. The few laymen who are aware that there was a revolution in Haiti and have made the connection between the insurrection and the Louisiana Purchase fail to realize the underlying motives of Thomas Jefferson. Historians too have been blind to the nuanced indicators that prove Jefferson’s true motives behind his Haitian, Louisiana Territory, and slave trade policies. They uniformly insist that his support for diffusion began nearly thirty years after it actually did. Thomas Jefferson’s conviction that slavery could only be ended with the employment of dissemination can be traced back to the 1790’s by a careful reexamination of his policies as president. The compilation of Jefferson’s exerted influence in Haiti, his purchase of the Louisiana territory, and his discrete avocation for the extension of slavery clearly indicate that he was attempting to end slavery by diffusion as early as 1801.

These conflicts resulted in the Supreme Court cases, Plessy v. Ferguson and Brown v. Board of Education, two of the most influential court cases in United States history.

The United States is a nation with a gun culture with a magnitude unseen in any other nation on the Earth. This gun culture stems from the second amendment in the Constitution that states citizens have the right to bear arms which many Americans interpret this to mean that they have the right to own and operate any firearm uninfringed by the government. The Second amendment in the United States Constitution should be revised to completely ban the possession and sale of firearms by people living within the United States because, of the multitude of mass shootings carried out with ease using guns, guns are no longer necessary for survival as they once were in earlier colonial times, and the lack of regulations on buying gun from unlicensed dealers
