Takaki Ch3 Discussion Question
Jefferson at one time owned up to 267 slaves in 1822, but then in his notes mentioned the recommendation of the gradual abolition of slavery. What would make a man as we see of great discovery and making of our country become so contradictory? Why did Jefferson simply own 267 and then start to feel guilty for the way his slaves were treated and the liberty they were not given?
