Sheesh, you obviously don't know jack - Jefferson DID condemn slavery in HIS draft of the DoI:
he [the king] has waged cruel war against human nature itself, violating it's most sacred rights of life & liberty in the persons of a distant people who never offended him, captivating & carrying them into slavery in another hemisphere, or to incur miserable death in their transportation thither. this piratical warfare, the opprobrium of infidel powers, is the warfare of the CHRISTIAN king of Great Britain. determined to keep open a market where MEN should be bought & sold, he has prostituted his negative for suppressing every legislative attempt to prohibit or to restrain this execrable commerce
“Sheesh, you obviously don’t know jack - Jefferson DID condemn slavery in HIS draft of the DoI:”
You can’t be that obtuse. My whole point was that HIS draft is not the Declaration, and as an aside that if HIS draft had been the Declaration, slavery would have been condemned in it. It was reworked massively before it went to press. Trying to connect the Kentucky Resolutions which he authored and the Declaration which was authored by every member of the continental congress, is a weak argument. I wouldn’t say he was a ghost writer. He was a great man and he made great contributions to the final draft but it wasn’t even near his own. It wasn’t his own thoughts. The Kentucky Resolutions were and most of the country at that time condemned the resolutions that were his singular effort. Interesting that both Jefferson’s identity in authorship of the Kentucky Resolutions and Madison’s identity in the Virginia Resolutions weren’t revealed until years after the resolutions had passed into historical ignominity. On these they appeared to both be ghost writers.
