Thomas Jefferson and Slavery
Number of pages:
3
ABSTRACT:
This 3 page report discusses the great American,
Thomas Jefferson, and the fact that he was a slaveowner. Ironically, Jefferson also
claimed that the only reason that he was willing or able to "keep" slaves was because he
feared that emancipation would ultimately lead to a race war. Nonetheless, his own
lifestyle was dependent on his slave holdings and he wrote of the many reasons he found
Africans to be inferior. Bibliography lists 2 sources.
