"So what would TJ have responded if asked. How do negroes fit into that self evident truth of all men are created equal?"

Most of us on further consideration, have been able to accept the idea form of 'All men are created equal' as a universal truth that embraces all human beings. Applications of 'equality' have been hotly debated and fought over but in general we agree it is a reference to the individual human condition.

I have no idea how TJ would respond to your question. I might be interested in knowing what he would have to say, if he had the view of American evolution that you and I have. His historical perspective is fairly inconsequential, except to the extent that it has contributed to our current knowledge and understanding.
