In this 1791 letter from Thomas Jefferson to black scientist and mathematician Benjamin Banneker, you can see Jefferson was happy about being proven wrong that blacks were “inferior.” Jefferson’s enemies used this letter later against him to show that he was a closet abolitionist.

If Jefferson was an abolitionist he had a funny way of showing it.
