If you study Jefferson a bit more you will see he was clearly against slavery. During the time he lived he was between a rock and a hard place trying to get rid of it. Political, economical, socially concepts prevented it at the time. It is important to realize the whole qoute.
"Nothing is more certainly written in the book of fate than
that these people [blacks] are to be free. Nor is it less
certain that the two races, equally free, cannot live in the
same government. Nature, habit, opinion has drawn indelible
lines of distinction between them." --Thomas Jefferson:
Autobiography, 1821. ME 1:72
He wanted the slaves freed and return to Africa. Imagine America today without all the social ill of having the negro race among us. We would have lost out on some nice things, but overall I think we'd be better off without them I'm sorry to say.
So far it looks like he was right again.
