No. He was one of 2 founding fathers to not own a slave. Having grown up in the West Indies, where sugarcane was the leading, and only, crop, slaves were everywhere. Everywhere. The slave to person was 4:1. He had seen the humanity of slaves and the cruelty that they received as a child and that profoundly affected him. His abolitionism proved a large part of his economic vision.
