Hello Needforspeed is back, Today I'm going to talk about Thomas Jefferson. As you guys remember my topic is about freedom and Thomas Jefferson talked about freedom in the declaration of independent. In the Declaration of Independence have received more attention than Jefferson's phrase "All men are created equal." But how would Jefferson and the other signers of the declaration believe this when slavery existed in the colonies? Some slave owners argued that slaves would become equal and worthy of natural rights only when they became civilized. For Jefferson, a life-long owner of slaves, this was a much more complex issue.
