According to Jefferson, what will it take to end slavery in the United States and is he hopeful or

doubtful that it will be accomplished?

According to Jefferson, it would take the termination of the slave trade and the segregation of whites from blacks to end slavery. He was hopeful that the abolishment of slavery could be achieved.

Explanation:

Jefferson believed that the trade of slaves that happened was the reason behind the growth of the practice of slavery. He also believed that blacks were naturally inferior to whites and it was necessary to keep them segregated. He himself owned over 600 slaves yet consistently kept speaking about the abolishment of slavery and allied practices. He believed that it was possible to abolish slowly and gradually.
