[PAR35]

The Founders fully intended to abolish slavery with Jefferson explicitly calling slavery "execrable commerce." Jefferson and the majority of the Founders believed that ALL men are created equal and his original version is even more clear on that point than the final document itself.

That's probably why he so enjoyed the privileges of owning them.

"That's probably why he so enjoyed the privileges of owning them."

Slavery was not just a moral issue it was also obviously an economic issue.

Your sarcasm at the expense of arguably the greatest of the founding fathers is both overly simplistic and unschooled. In other words, you're a dumbass.

Did you even read what he wrote? Or is your political opinion the only consideration here? Facts be damned?

You express displeasure with Jefferson owning slaves, now do the same with the rat party owning slaves, starting up the KKK, spraying protestors with hoses at Selma, Alabama, hanging black citizens, etc,

If you think Jefferson did worse than the democrat party, you have no idea of history.

The democraty party, as a mass murder movement, has killed more people than Hitler and the Nazis.
