Jefferson's Attitudes Toward Slavery
Thomas Jefferson called slavery a “moral depravity” and a “hideous blot,” but continued to hold human beings as property his entire adult life.
Thomas Jefferson wrote that “all men are created equal,” and yet enslaved more than 600 people over the course of his life.
