"The Jefferson-Lemen Compact" by Willard C. MacNaul is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The work delves into the significant relationship between Thomas Jefferson and James Lemen, particularly in the context of excluding slavery from Illinois and the Northwest Territory between 1781 and 1818. The book explores the role of Lemen, a civil and religious leader, who was instrumental in anti-slavery efforts in the region. The opening of the book presents Lemen's background, detailing his roots in Virginia and enlistment in the Revolutionary War. It highlights his connection with Jefferson and outlines Lemen’s mission to Illinois as an agent to promote anti-slavery sentiments among new settlers. Additionally, the text sets the stage for his return to Illinois, where he faced the challenging dynamics of slavery entrenched in the territory. It incorporates references to various historical documents, aiming to shed light on Lemen's influence on Illinois's status as a free state and the principles that motivated his lifelong campaign against slavery.
