While reading The Mormon Question by Sarah Gordon, I came upon the  following 
observation:
 
"Not only had Jefferson dallied with his slave, Sally, engaging in an  
extralegal and interracial affair, he was hardly respectable on divorce.   Jefferson 
supported liberal divorce laws, much to the dismay of conservative  
Christians"
 
Misogynist and divorce proponent?
