Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Thomas Jefferson, the third president of the United States, owned more than 600 slaves during his adult life. Jefferson freed two slaves while he lived, and five others were freed after his death, including two of his children from his relationship with his slave (and sister-in-law) Sally Hemings.
Detailed explanation-2: -Jefferson experimented with alternatives to the common use of harsh physical punishment. Rather than use force to compel his enslaved artisans to work, Jefferson offered financial incentives-gratuities (tips) or percentages of workshop profits to those who maximized efficiency and output.
