“..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.
No, I was trying to get you to understand that a person advocating a position says something like “I advocate....”
Jefferson didn’t personally advocate what you wish to attribute to him in the document you reference. No matter how many times you point to it and say, “See - there it is” the fact of the matter is there it isn’t. Instead, what he did was to make note of a condition rhetorically and in an entirely 3rd person way.
But thanks for trying - would like like a star for your lunch box?
