How was being a slaveholder a contradiction for Thomas Jefferson?
Jefferson wrote in the Declaration of Independence that "all men are created equal". He was arguing that kings and lords were not born with any divine right to rule over other people, but it seems inconsistent that he would have the right to rule over his slaves just because he paid money for them or their ancestors. Apparently he was not thinking of slaves as being men, but rather as some inferior sub-class that were designed to serve men.

Why were women and slaves left out of the Declaration?
I recently covered this subject in history class. John Adams' wife suggested women be in the declaration, but he did not put them in. For a brief time after the declaration of independence was issued women were given the right to vote, but then it was taken away until the 1900's ( you'd have to look up exactly when women got the right to vote again.) The Declaration of Independence states that human beings had unalianable rights and such. While slaves, back then, were not counted as human beings. Slaves were merely a posession. If a " master" killed a slave, it was not murder. Simply because, slaves were not humans to them. Slaves were simply a property. Even after the Emancipation Proclamation, slaves were still being used in some places.
