Jefferson's legacy has been whitewashed (pun intended) over the centuries. Finally the truth is coming out.

Jefferson not only raped his slaves, he had a secret tunnel built on his estate so his sex slaves could travel to the main house without being seen.

Ledgers in Jefferson's handwriting are clear evidence that he calculated how much he could earn by breeding his slaves. He also wrote about it to his peers. Just as you describe in your article, he looked at slave breeding as a "high return invesment."
