The original comment was about surprise tho, not who was more moral re: slavery. Jefferson explicitly wrote about the idea that people in another time would have to make their own rules and revisions in society. I think in practice, viscerally both men would be taken aback by having a Black equal, but I think conceptually Jefferson at least would not be shocked that the country had changed over time, even if during his lifetime he rationalized excuses for not giving up his part in it.

Alright, in the spirit of fairness, I think I understand what you are saying Jefferson had the mental framework to understand a black president better than Washington. I guess I can see what you mean.  


I honestly think both of them would be surprised but would be happy once they had time to get used to it. Most of those guys agreed with entlightenment principles like "all men are created equal" they made excuses about how the country wasn't read for that yet , which was totally hypocrtical, but they still were familiar with the idea that all men were equal and that America might someday get to that point.
