Because he said that slavery was wrong when he owned 300 slaves
Not only the fact that he did own slaves...he was considered a strict constitutionalist, meaning that if he didn't see it in the Constitution it meant NO! In the constitution, it had never stated about aquiring land. He wanted to buy LA from Napolean, not only to increase the size of the US, but to gain control nof the Mississippi river. Due to this, he had made an amendment to the Constitution, and made a "treaty" with Napolean stateing he could aquire the territory of LA. The LA purchase was one way that Jeferson was a hypocrite.
