Unexpected twists and turns in our history indeed! This was an interesting piece of American history. Two things especially stood out to me in this account. Jefferson’s statement: “Rebellion to tyrants is obedience to God.” The other is that Jefferson paid Leland $200 for the cheese because he had a policy of not accepting gifts while in office. Remarkable integrity! Sadly lacking in today’s politicians. Another excellent history lesson. Tara.
Thank you Tara for another piece of our American History that was previously unknown to me.
The Anti-Federalist Cheese must have been a sight to see and smell. Unrefrigerated cheese can't have been very good after a time; however, the sentiment was well intended.
It is good that no Federalist Cows nor any slaves were employed in the making of the cheese.
This gift was given in a cheerful and a bit of fanciful, way. As usual politicians try to make it into a negative item. Glad to see it was received by most as it was intended
That’s such a cheesy story. ;)
LOL. 😆
🤣🤣🤣👏👏👏

Good thing the "cheese heads" of Wisconsin weren't yet around. I'm sure they would have sent Elsie. ;-)

What a fun story! Thanks, Tara.
Life is like a block of cheese????🧀
❤️🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
😄 It can be.
I'm glad the connection was made betwixt the Jefferson and Jackson 🧀! Isn't this a great story?
It would seem that the White House was mouse free at that time. Remarkable.
🇺🇲 I'd not known this until now. And then Jackson receives a bigger block??
Can't make this stuff up!
Nice to see a President stick to his principles too.
Thanks, TR 🇺🇲

Truth is stranger, and funnier, than fiction!
Wow...
I guess you could say they were the Original Cheese heads 🤗🤭😊!
