Thomas Jefferson

when an IMGflip meme beholds a legitimate quote

First comment, you are right. Slavery is wrong.

Second comment, if slavery hadn't been abolished, I doubt that I would feel that way. Just saying. Many good wishes to you.

Did you seriously not understand the quote? He was speaking of slavery to a tyrannical government, not the slavery of private ownership. If slavery hadn't been abolished, chances are 50% of the USA would own slaves and the quote would have even more poignancy.

Very sorry, you are right.

You can shove your alt-reicht where the sun doesn't shine. Jefferson was born into a world of slave ownership, in a part of the country where it was not only legal, but necessary for business. He did what he could to end it. Just how much are you paid to troll ImgFlip, anyway?
