What did Thomas Jefferson oppose?

Answer 1

It is true that Jefferson made no attempt to release his slaves. However, there are countless recorded incidents where "masters" did free their slaves but the slaves refused to leave, or left and then came back to the plantations where they previously resided. Why was that? It's obvious, they had no where else to go. If Jefferson freed his slaves they would have had nowhere to go and would have probably starved. That would have been much more inhuman than actually keeping them and having them work for him.

Now I move onto your second point. Yes, it is true Jefferson did express his fears about slavery. Individuals, such as yourself, who are uneducated on this subject believe that the Northwest Ordinance of 1787 is basically the only act that may show that Jefferson might have opposed slavery . However, if you did any type of actual research, besides what you learned in high school, you would know that this is not true. Jefferson did truly oppose slavery. If you had done any research and gained any knowledge on this subject you would have learned that Congress removed a quarter of Jefferson's original draft in the Declaration of Independence that denounced the horrors of the slave trade and explained how evil it was.
