Googe him. That’s what I did. If it’s a lie I guess it makes all of google resources suspect.,
You made the claim. If it’s a lie you should say so instead of telling someone else to go validate it for you.

Did Virginia law make it easy to free slaves?Thomas Jefferson wrote that “all men are created equal,” and yet enslaved more than six-hundred people over the course of his life.
It's like on one hand he knew it was wrong but on the other hand, he couldn't quit.
He also thought Blacks to be inferior to White people.
Maybe it was a if you can't beat them, join them attitude. I tend to think of people who think the Jail Report is wrong, won't buy one but will look at someone else's copy.
Folks against the Lottery when it was up for vote but will now buy lottery tickets.
I believe it did just that..........although not overnight, it was the turn in the right direction.When you think about it, wouldn't the D.O.I. and the timing be the perfect fruition to work in the rights of everyone?
Madison had slaves most of his adult life as well even though he knew it was wrong.
When you think about it, wouldn't the D.O.I. and the timing be the perfect fruition to work in the rights of everyone? Not just the talk but the walk.
Womens, Blacks, Homos, Pagans, Native Americans, etc.
Before this discussion advances and more founding fathers are given credit for saying or writing something that they did not originally come up with may I suggest you folks study the "Mayflower Compact" by John Winthrop and "A Modell of Christian Charity" by John Winthrop.
Some of what you, and even some errant authors of books you have quoted, are giving credit where it is not due.
I have seen debate since the original document was lost. Non the less, Bradford was a signer and his transcript can be found.
Interesting that some believe the Christian ideology had no affect on the ultimate framing of the constitution. Some still believe that it was all about "freedom from religion".
"Having undertaken, for the glory of God, and advancement of the Christian faith, and honor of our King and Country, a voyage to plant the first colony in the northern parts of Virginia; do by these presents, solemnly and mutually, in the presence of God, and one another; covenant and combine ourselves together into a civil body politic; for our better ordering, and preservation and furtherance of the ends aforesaid; and by virtue hereof to enact, constitute, and frame, such just and equal laws, ordinances, acts, constitutions, and offices"
