Jefferson also virulently condemned the Haitian revolution, which was the first successful slave rebellion in the western hemisphere, and helped spread the abolition of slavery to the rest of the caribbean and south america.

Yeah but unfortunately Hamilton comes off good in Hamilton which is itself its own big problem.
