How do you think, psychologically, a smart cookie like Jefferson could write those words and still never free his slaves (at least during his lifetime)? I know he was a man of his times, but he still wrote those words, and there were abolitionists in the colonies even in 1776. For some strange reason, Jefferson was not among them.
