When in NY the http://motorhomediaries.com crew was able to sit-down with Rob McDonald, a professor of history at the United States Military Academy at West Point, who shared some knowledge. In this video Rob shared some stories about what makes Thomas Jefferson stand out to him personally, the institution of slavery and the Declaration of the Independence and its reliance on negative rights.
He thought being a slave made people lazy. being a slave should be an antonym of lazy.

Thomas Jefferson was a contemptible hypocrite.

We all have to pretend like getting sex from slaves wasnt a big deal. It was a huge deal.
Imagine being able to buy some young woman, make her do whatever you wanted sexuallly, make her work, then sell her or the product -- or the children - for huge profit? How the hell do you think slave owners got rich?
How the hell do you think 1.5 million of the 4 million slaves were mullatto?
Lots of slaves were mixed blood by 1860-- Fredrick Douglass for one.

Lets be blunt okay? Jefferson liked the pussy and money. Thats why he didnt let his slaves go. He was getting all his pussy from slaves, and slaves were doing all his work. Building his house, growing his food, ect. True he was always in hot water financially, probably because he didnt sell his own children like most slave owners did.
Selling children was the big money maker, especially light skinned slave girls. Im not kidding at all.

Sorry, a human cannot "own" another human, he can only commit violence against another human.
Humans cannot be property.
"Slavery" is a euphemism for kidnapping and brutal violence.

Jefferson would have loved to free his 200 slaves, but . .
"What about the property rights of the masters who legally purchased them?"
Were these Jefferson's words or are they Rob McDonald's?
