Extract from Thomas Jefferson to Edward Everett
| Monticello Apr. 8. 26. |
on the question of the lawfulness of slavery, that is, of the right of one man to appropriate to himself the faculties of another without his consent, I certainly retain my early opinions. on that however of third persons to interfere between the parties, and the effect of conventional modifications of that pretension, we are probably nearer together.
