Amazed at the awesome application of alliteration about above arguement.

I think nobody points that out because he still kept slaves, and did not free them during his life. And that clause didn't make his final draft. Personally, I think that makes Jefferson worse, not better. It shows he might have thought slavery wrong, but held slaves anyways. At least most slaveowners might have not personally believed themselves to be in the wrong, whereas Jefferson did something he knew wrong.
