It -- it's almost like TC doesn't know anything about how Thomas Jefferson despised slavery even while still being dependent on it. Crazy, right? He was a brilliant man every way but financially. Unlike George Washington (who freed his slaves in his will, and supported some as pensioners until they died), TJ wasn't wealthy enough to do anything except keep owning them. He even had to make deals with some of his creditors to free the few he did after his death, He could literally decide that his continued wealth and status was less important than the lives and freedom of the people he owned and make a principled decision to stop owning people. He absolutely has a choice here. You think the abolition of slavery was, at any time, convenient for slave owners? Come on. And let's not touch that Sally Hemmings situation. Did you know the son he fathered with her lived as a house slave on his estate as part of the kitchen staff? He didn't feel strongly enough about it to free his own children. --- Whatever happened to standards?
