Jefferson owned many slaves during his life but was nevertheless an outspoken proponent of abolition.

He supported Free States and their advocates, like James Lemen.

However, in many works, Jefferson seems to suggest that he shares the worldview of his era, that blacks were inferior, untrustworthy, and childlike.

It's been rumored that Jefferson had an affair with a black mistress, Sally Hemmings.
