This text studies the attitudes of the founding "fathers" toward
slavery. Specifically, it examines the views of Thomas Jefferson
reflected in his life and writings and those of other founders as
expressed in the Northwest Ordinance, the Constitutional Convention
and the Constitution itself, and the fugitive slave legislation of
the 1790s. The author contends: slavery fatally permeated the
founding of the American republic; the original constitution was,
as the abilitionists later maintained, "a covnenant with death";
and Jefferson's anti-slavery reputation is undeserved and most
historians and biographers have prettified Jefferson's record on
slavery.
