Summary
"To be sure, Thomas Paine in no way supported slavery; indeed he found it repulsive and sincerely hoped for its eradication. But so did many late-eighteenth-century intellectuals. It might even be argued that Thomas Jefferson, vilified in recent historical literature for his ambivalence about race, tried harder than Paine to challenge chattel slavery. It is a great leap from private thought to public action, especially when that action challenges the racial assumptions and the social and economic foundations of a people and their society. By examining what little Paine wrote about slavery, this essay argues that he made no such leap. Intellectually, Paine was antislavery, but he rarely transofrmed his thought into visible and public action. Throughout his lifetime Paine avoided, for the most part, the issues of slavery and abolition, and he also joined other revolutionaries in the conviction that American citizens would only be white."
