I will not thank you, Armistead, for posting that link. One particular piece jumped off the page at me, and I had to register and post there. The piece was praise for Jefferson for ending the slave trade. I had to point out that as much as I love and respect Jefferson, his "ending" the importation of slaves was nothing more than luck-of-the-draw. The Constitution stipulated that the slave trade would end in 1808. Jefferson just happened to be president at the time.
