Reference no: EM13108029

Malcolm X once remarked: "Who was it who said ‘all men are made equal'? It was Jefferson. Jefferson owned more slaves than anybody else." Must Jefferson (and other slaveholding revolutionaries) simply be dismissed as hypocrites? Or is it possible, in context of their own beliefs, to reconcile persistence of slavery in land of "liberty"? Describe how tenets of revolutionary republicanism could both demand which slavery be ended and yet also hinder efforts to abolish it. Write down few examples of words and methods devised to get around "Lockean dilemma" between 1776 and 1807.
