Jefferson's Bold Stance Against Slavery
Jefferson's initial bold stance against slavery is showcased in his pamphlet 'A Summary View of the Rights of British America', where he strongly argues against Parliament's right to control or tax the colonies. Despite not publicly defending his position during a debate, his impactful writing was later published. This action, coupled with his advocacy to end the slave trade and promote enfranchisement of slaves, laid the foundation for his future anti-slavery actions and beliefs.
