Thank you for posting more of the context which clearly shows no evidence of Jefferson personally calling for an end to the slave trade.

You were trying to point out something about Thomas Jefferson by saying:

“..clearly shows no evidence of Jefferson personally calling for an end to the slave trade.”

It looks like you have not been following this thread very closely, or you would have seen this:

1774 July. From Jefferson's A Summary View of the Rights of British America. “

"The abolition of domestic slavery is the great object of desire in those colonies where it was unhappily introduced in their infant state. But previous to the infranchisement of the slaves we have, it is necessary to exclude all further importations from Africa."

Wanted you to lnow the truth so next time you can be more correct.
