- ... slavery was morally wrong and forcefully declare that it ought to be abolished?" (Wilson 66). Wilson also argues that Jefferson knew that his slaves would be better off working for him than freed in a world where they would be treated with contempt and not given any real freedoms. Another way that Thomas Jefferson shows his moral character is in his most famous achievement, the drafting of the Declaration of Independence. This document is probably the most important document in the history of the United States, and one of the most important in the history of the world. Jefferson writes that "all men are created equal" and argues that every man has the right to "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness." Jefferson's document shows not only his strongly held beliefs in ...
