Which of the following actions demonstrated that Jefferson was against slavery?

A)   He owned slaves

B)   He supported a bill for manumission.

C)   He sold slaves to raise money.

D)   He freed only a few slaves at his death and left the rest to be sold with his estate.

Well, we know it's not A., C., or D. because that does not support the idea of Jefferson supporting slaves. So, it has to be B. He supported a bill for manumission. Also, manumission is the act of freeing his or her own slaves. Hope this helps!
