The Philosophic Cock, by political cartoonist James Akin (1773–1846), shows President Thomas Jefferson as an admiring rooster and his slave Sally Hemings as the hen. The text in fine print is from Act I of Joseph Addison’s drama Cato and reads, “’Tis not a set of features or complexion or tincture of a skin that I admire.” (AMERICAN ANTIQUARIAN SOCIETY)

“Are you not afraid, Callender, that some avenging fire will consume your body as well as your soul?” warned Jefferson’s friend, the editor of the Richmond Examiner.44

On July 17, 1803, Callender’s dead body washed ashore on the James River.45
