In a message dated 5/27/06 3:21:13 P.M. Central Daylight Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Thomas Jefferson blamed slavery on the British.  Indeed, he felt that the British imposed it upon the colonies.  And he was really pissed off that the Brits got so high and mighty about offering slaves their freedom if they fought against the colonists during the revolutionary war. Of course, Jefferson himself owned slaves which I believe he didn't free until his death. Yes and At the time of the Constitutional Convention Georgia didn't want slavery in the constitution and threatened not to vote for it while Massachusetts insisted that slavery be  constitutional. Also General Grant didn't free his own slaves until about 1867. When pressed by the Press why he waited so long, it is said he coined the term, "good help is hard to find".
