Thomas Jefferson did more to end slavery than Abe Lincoln

Jefferson slayed that slave poon.

So they freed the same amount.

Technically speaking freeing all the southern slaves via executive order is a lot more than zero

I stand corrected. Still to the larger point 3,000,000>7. You won’t ever here me say Lincoln was a good man precisely because he was a tyrant who killed a lot of people and suspended rights for people disagreeing with him

The Emancipation Proclamation freed no one, because it specifically exempted those areas of the southern states that were at the time under the control of the federal armies while allowing slavery to exist in the "loyal" border states of Maryland and Kentucky and in Washington, D.C. itself.

Honest Abe centralized power and did not free a single slave
