Did Jefferson's slaves think it was a great quote?

sorry, dude. thought the ironic humor was obvious...

jefferson's great words per your post...

If it neither breaks my leg nor picks my pocket, it's of no concern to me.


any chance you left off more words, like "forces labor upon me, shackles me" etc.

I mean, broken legs and petty theft are not all that much to rise above. His slaves were not granted what he took for granted.

wasn't that 3/5ths?



and 3/5's was the % of the vote that a slave counted, not that he was 3/5 of a person.

Jefferson let his slaves vote that's true. Well the men, the chicks came later and only when he was forced to.
