At about the same time, Je≠erson also failed to win support for another plan—to emancipate slaves and give some education to those who would one day be free. He informally proposed the scheme to a member of the General 162 Notes to Pages 19–32 Assembly, but legislators rejected it. Except as laborers and servants, blacks never figured into any of his designs for a university. Despite his revolutionary ideas about freedom and equality, Je≠erson considered blacks mentally inferior humans and owned slaves until the day he died. 12.
