I consider any man who has given consideration to an issue of basic rights and freedoms and changed his lifestyle as a result to be a moral man. Very few men or women in history have been willing to go against the status quo, lifestyle, doctrine, or culture they were raised under. Even fewer have taken a leadership roll to advocate for such change.

Is a child who is sheltered and raised by a saint to live a perfect life and who has never been tested with tempation necessarily moral? Hard to say...

When a child is raised to accept the idea that, it is ok to treat other people with less regard than you would have them treat you; and then, through a conscious struggle with the concept of what is right and what is wrong, he rebells against that idea...he is definitely moral. Jefferson is a shining example of morality in human practice.
