The Legacy of "Notes on the State of Virginia"

Read these two documents from the antebellum period in the U.S.:

https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/aia/part4/4h3141t.html   (George Fitzhugh)

http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/aia/part4/4h3439t.html     (John Henry Hammond)


How does each document echo Jefferson's comments in "Notes on the State of Virginia"?  Quote both articles as well as Jefferson in your response.

In what way does each document seek to support the system of slavery?
