"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.

Wow, someone’s touchy.

My esteem for Jefferson has gone down considerably over the years, but I’m glad to see someone still runs his fan club.

I think his owning slaves gels perfectly with his Indian Removal Act and disdain for women’s suffrage.

Let’s not make these men into gods.

To argue that Jefferson was anti-slavery is to try to project your political correctness onto an historical figure. And, perhaps, if you ever graduate from high school, you will learn to debate without having to result to name calling. In the mean time, perhaps you might gain something from your betters.
