Transcript: The innocence of Jefferson "Nobody wishes more than I do, to see such proofs as you exhibit, that nature has given to our black brethern, talents equal to those of the other colors of men..." (Benjamin Banneker letter) Evidence #1 Evidence #1 "Through out his entire life, Thomas Jefferson was a consitent opponent that slavery presented the greatest threat to the survival of the new American nation. Jefferson also thought that slavery was contrary to the laws of nature, which decreed that everyone had a right to personal liberty." (Christa Dierksheide, 2008) Evidence #2 Evidence #2 Evidence #3 Evidence #3 "Jefferson's belief in the necessity of ending slavery never changed (from the mid-1770s until his death) same plan of gradual emancipation." WIth the help of these articles we can clearly see that even though he did say that all men are created equal, he isn't guilty for not including our black brothers since at the time they weren't considered humans but rather property. Even if he had become president and tried to abolish slavery since he didn't like it, many people would revolt since it wouldn't be for a life or death situation. Reasoning Reasoning With the overall evidence and information that goes along with it, it has been proven that Thomas Jefferson was indeed a innocent man.
