Although Jefferson did own slaves, yes, the belief back then was that whites were biologically superior to other races. Jefferson literally believed this was supported by science, as did the majority of the populace. Was it terrible? Of course. But my point is now that we are more scientifically informed, prohibiting the rights of racial and religious minorities is foolish, whereas back then people unfortunately thought it was scientifically logical.
