Jefferson abhorred slavery.

"The whole commerce between master and slave is a perpetual exercise of the most boisterous passions, the most unremitting despotism on the one part, and degrading submissions on the other. Our children see this, and learn to imitate it." Thomas Jefferson

Plato and Aristotle were both in favour of slavery.
