Quote by: The Decider  Being outspoken about slavery does not mean Jefferson saw black men as his equals, politically, physically, or morally. |
Decider, I am not delusional to think that Whites at the time saw Blacks as equals. That would ignore history. But your claim is that the consitution endorsed slavery. That is not true. The constitution endorse racial inferiority. The constitution also embraced the ability to be adjusted, changed and added to, and it was!
See the leftist cause is to slander the founding fathers and put them in a bad light. Rather then see that they were mostly great people, especially for their time, and they created the best country in the world. They started the freedom movement that we enjoy today and the left should stop trying to only point out their bad points rather then to look at their good points!

Quote: By Decider:
And the Pulitzer Prize winning Jefferson historian Stephen Ambrose says you are wrong about Jefferson at the time he wrote "All men are created equal," GHook. I hope you don't mind if I take his word over yours....

Stephen Ambrose! LOLOLOL
! I am glad you brought up this hack. He has been discredited as a plagarizer and for not doing his research.
So you rather take the word of a plagarizer?
A plagarizer loses all credability in my opinion!

The "History News Network" web site of George Mason University, however, in a web article entitled "How the Ambrose story developed", detailed seven of Ambrose works that had plagiarized at least 12 authors

You also want to support a writer who has proven to lack research integrity?

Ambrose was also criticized by other historians and media critics for inaccuracies in his writings and for shoddy or missing research, particularly as it contributed to the perception of him as a writer of "popular" or "best-seller history".

Ambrose cited his son Hugh as the primary research assistant for the book and chose not to respond. On January 11, 2001, Lloyd Grove, in The Washington Post column "The Reliable Source," reported that a co-worker found a "serious historical error" in the same book and that "a chastened Ambrose" promised to correct the error in new editions.

More integrity raising questions!

Ambrose also became the target of controversy in 1995 from U.S. Army Air Forces veterans who objected to his characterization of C-47 pilots as untrained and incompetent in the Normandy invasion. A letter-writing campaign noted that Ambrose did not interview a single troop carrier pilot among the 1,642 participating in Operation Neptune nor consult official records, relying instead only on anecdotes of some paratroopers critical of the jumps. It also accused him of "reneging" on promises to correct the record before his death.
A similar controversy ensued when Ambrose, apparently drawing only from a writing by S.L.A. Marshall, implied cowardice by a British coxswain of a landing craft during the landings at Omaha Beach. In addition to the imputation, the article gave further weight to the argument that Ambrose had a pattern of drawing his conclusions from those of other authors.
