The fact that Thomas Jefferson, and other political leaders of the American Revolution, said “all men are created equal,” yet owned slaves themselves. “How did England, who prided themselves on liberty of their citizens, produce colonies who controlled lives that were not their own?” Morgan questioned and argued how they created such an effort to keep human liberty and respect intact, while at the same time continue with the labor of slaves, stripping them of their own liberty and self-worth every day.

In this same text, Stewart and Katz explain how, “riot and repression showed how much power the Southern planter class exercised in the North, deeply disturbing those who already had some reservations about slavery.”
