what do you think he would do about slavery I know he had slaves but was he strict about views on slavery? @solidrebirth

anonymous · Answer

Yes, he owned slaves and was a southerner, so I don't think he would have wanted to end slavery. From what I can remember, he wasn't strongly passionate about either pro-slavery or anti-slavery. He did not think slavery should exist in the newer territories, but did not want to enforce the Wilmot Proviso, which would have forbid it in those new territories.
