Jefferson Envened Adams Ability to Get Into the Arena

David McCullough: I'm sure that Jefferson envied Adams ability to get into the fight. He just didn't have that as part of his nature, he says. And I'd like to think that Jefferson also realized the hypocrisy of the whole slave system. All men are created equal, he wrote. But there he's living on the labors of people that he owns and sells like they were part of his livestock.
