The paper looks at the ideas of equality and freedom proclaimed by Thomas Jefferson in the US Declaration of Independence addressing the contradiction between his public ideals and his private status as a lifelong slave owner. Jefferson's figure is discussed arguing that he never advocated for the abolition of slavery because he could not extract himself from the prejudices of his time.
