feb 4, 1824 - Letter to Jared Sparks (Monticello)
Description:
- “There are in the United States a million and a half of people of color in slavery. To send off the whole of these at once, nobody conceives to be practicable for us, or expedient for them. Let us take twenty-five years for its accomplishment, within which time they will be doubled.” Discusses plans on how to remove African Americans from the states… possibly sending them the St. Domingue
