That’s Jefferson? He was full of crap then evidently, that quote is heavy teen rebel energy. Was he one of the slave owners or was he just angling to genocide the existing tenants? Is he one of the still-popular ones? So many questions.

    I don't know if you genuinely don't know about Jefferson, or not.

    Thomas Jefferson unquestionably owned slaves, and he fathered five children with one of his slaves*. He made his own Bible by cutting out the parts he didn't like with scissors. So like all of them, he was full of his own crap.

    *And he inherited her from his father in law, who was also her father. Meaning Sally Hemings was a half sister to Jefferson's late wife. Jefferson likely started sexual relations with her when she was 14, and also probably started when they were in Paris. Legally, Hemings was not a slave in Paris at the time.
