I have osteogenesis imperfecta and live in a town of less than 50,000 people. That is all.
Slavery was a worldwide practice, but by Jefferson’s time it was declining. Also there had been some history in the Western world of Christians not enslaving other Christians. Part of the original “justification” of enslaving Africans is that they were enemies of Christendom. Once they were Christian some of them felt they should be freed in a “Jubilee” per the Old Testament.
The idea of making slavery racial was also somewhat new. At times some Southerners even had some difficulty with this notion. There was enslavement of a nation that had gone to war with your own, but often that nation was basically the same “race”.
