Answer:
Thomas Jefferson's ideas on race and slavery were not totally honest. On one side he considered that “all men are created equal,” but on the other, he turned more than 600 people into slaves during his lifetime. Despite making some legislative efforts to counter slavery and oftenly lamenting its existence, he also earned money straight from the institution of slavery and, in his notes on the State of Virginia, he declared that he had a suspicion of white people being superior than black people. For Jefferson, white Americans and slaves conformed two "separate nations" unable to coexist pacifically in the same country.
