re: #5 Kragar (Proud to be Kafir)

Actually there is some truth to that, as it was a clause of Jefferson’s deleted from the final copy of the DOI, but it wasn’t a main factor like Barton implies. And it’s also been suggested the clause regarding Britain and slavery were directed at the overseas slave trade and not to the home-grown slave trade in the U.S., so again Barton was implying Jefferson’s motivation was purer than it may have truly been.
