His longtime companion was Sally Hemings, who may have actually been a half-sister to his late wife. She bore him six children; he freed them all when they became adults. Jefferson didn't treat Sally as a slave, but rather as a helpmeet. He could not have married her, because of the customs (and laws) of the time. In the modern age, he may well have.
yes Thomas Jefferson did have slaves and he had fathered one of the slaves kids
(thats sick!!)
Thomas Jefferson did have slaves.(more than 200 actually) I dont know how he treated them people wont awnser. Glad 2 help;)
yes, he did. He freed 2 slaves during his lifetime.(yes, only 2 out of about5,000!!)He freed them in his will after he died though. I think it was kinda pathetic.

No he didnt own the most slaves
Yes he was.
600 slaves

Yes! Thomas Jefferson treated his slaves like they were family.
Thomas Jefferson Biggest secret was that in the Declaration of Independence he wrote"All mens are created equal". But when he wrote that it didn't include the slaves and the womans because Thomas Jefferson Had SLAVES. Meaning it didn't include the African American(slaves).
Thomas Jefferson's DNA was never testing. It has been alleged that Thomas Jefferson fathered several children from the slaves he owned.
No he did not.
No
No he actually had slaves himself.
Thomas Jefferson kept meticulous hand-written records. He had 187 slaves. A slave named Sally Hemings and her 5 children were freed by Thomas Jefferson either before his death or in his will. These were almost the only slaves which Thomas Jefferson ever freed and the other slaves were sold shortly after he died in order to provide money to pay off some of Jefferson's outstanding debts.
He wanted to drum out the people who helped slaves get to Canada.
Thomas Jefferson
Much of the criticism Thomas Jefferson receives today is because he did not move to outlaw slavery when he had the opportunity to. He even owned slaves himself.
