      Dan McLaughlin Retweeted AP South U.S. Region

      Reminder: Jefferson was a hypocrite, & worse. But he also wrote the first federal ban on slavery, banned the slave trade at the first possible moment, & penned the words that inspired Lincoln, MLK, & opponents of bondage & degradation the world over.https://twitter.com/APSouthRegion/status/1146145413990252544 …

      Charlottesville, Virginia, has decided to no longer celebrate Thomas Jefferson's birthday and will instead observe the emancipation of enslaved African Americans. The city was the site of a 2017 white nationalist rally that descended into violence. http://apne.ws/ILHPsxY

      Jefferson may have been economically incentivized to oppose the slave trade, but he was its consistent & implacable foe from 1776 to 1808, & led its demise in America. As atrocious as American slavery was, the transatlantic slave trade was worse.

          Replying to @baseballcrank

          Many people seem to forget that slavery was a normal way of life since the dawn of the human race. And that the West were the first to stand up and put an end to slavery. Though more people are enslaved around the world today than back in 1776.

          Low bar? Who outside of Lincoln fought harder or was more productive in ending the institution of slavery?

          Was he really a leading figure in the demise of the slave trade? Wasn’t that mostly decided in London?

          The British crackdown preceded our ban & is part of the story, but Jefferson was denouncing it years before that, backed a Virginia ban in 1778, called for its end in the 1807 SOTU & signed the federal ban into law.

          Can we assume MLK’s ‘I have a Dream’ speech will be stricken since he plagiarized it?
