Slavery was a normal part of colonial life and Jefferson had slaves that worked his plantation. After his wife died he also took a mistress who was a slave. Her name was Sally Hemmings and she bore him 6 children. Jefferson may have written "that all men are created equal" but what he actually meant was all white men were equal. Society had not come to the conclusion that slaves or women were equal to white men.
