Joseph Jefferson made several recordings, all of material from "Rip Van Winkle". With the exception of minor parts, such as the First Gravedigger in "Hamlet", which he played in an all-star combination headed by Edwin Booth, Jefferson created no new character after 1865, and the success of "Rip Van Winkle" was so pronounced that he has often been called a one-part actor.

Virginia did not then require freed slaves to leave the state. From 1782 to 1810, as numerous slaveholders freed their slaves, the proportion of free blacks in Virginia increased dramatically from less than 1% to 7.2% of blacks. Jefferson later allowed two slaves

In a letter written in 1811, Jefferson described his stress and apprehension in regard to difficulties in what he felt was his "duty" to procure specific desirable blankets for "those poor creatures" – his slaves. Some historians have noted that Jefferson maintained many slave families together on his plantations; historian Bruce Fehn says this was consistent with other slave owners at the time. There were often more than one generation of family at the plantation and families were stable. Jefferson and

Another point of controversy stems from the evidence that after his wife Martha died in 1782, Jefferson fathered children with Martha's half-sister, Sally Hemings, who was his slave. Despite this, presidential scholars and historians generally praise his public achievements, including his advocacy of religious freedom and tolerance in Virginia.

Likewise, Archie bore no real animus towards Louise. In the first few seasons of "The Jeffersons", Louise dealt with insulting remarks from Mother Jefferson, George's mother.
