President Jefferson did not free his slaves and owned a good number of them when he issued his statement condemning slavery. Unfortunately Jefferson's increasing financial problems and the hardening of his Virginia neighbors against manumission of slaves, forced him to keep his slaves. This in no way detracts his official presidential position on slavery.
