The Godly men who founded this country believed in slavery. Jeffersons alleged mistress, Sally Hemings, with whom it is alleged he fathered children, was not freed by Jefferson. Records suggest that his daughter freed her after his death.. In 1785, while a U.S. Diplomat in Paris, Jefferson wrote his famous (and only) book, Notes on the State of Virginia (1785), in which, in part, he argued the inferior nature of the Negro, from an ethnological perspective, suggesting that he (Negro) was best suited to be a slave. Godly men? The greatest commandment was that we love one another! I guess they loved their slaves! ~GBJ
