It was written in response to queries from the French government, and contains detailed descriptions of the state's geography, natural resources, agriculture, manufacturing, laws, religion, climate and more, all framed within the broader context of the American Revolution. Jefferson's humanity shines through in his appreciation for the natural beauty of his state, while not shying away from aspects he found shameful such as slavery.
