Race and Racism. This paper is on race and racism. Thomas Jefferson has been known for his introduction of the "Declaration of Independence," yet, he owned over 200 slaves. Jefferson argued that emancipation would only be possible if it was accompanied by the expulsion of African Americans. Jefferson seems to have believed that African Americans were inferior and that integration was impossible. Pages: 6 Bibliography: 6 source(s) listed Filename: 19345 Race Racism Thomas.doc Price: 53.70
