In 1785, Thomas Jefferson printed his plan for ending slavery in Virginia: all slaves born after a certain date should be free, and the state should educate the freed children, colonize them to some hospitable location, and then support the new nation until it was strong enough for independence. For a Virginian like Jefferson, emancipation seemed most possible when imagined in tandem with racial separation. However, while living in Europe during the late 1780s, Jefferson and his young secretary William Short began devising an alternative, much more inclusive plan to end slavery: import German laborers, mingle them with African-descended workers, and use European tenant farming—or métayage—to transition slaves to freedom. Although neither of Jefferson’s plans came to fruition, examining his and Short’s correspondence from the 1780s through the 1820s offers new insights into Jefferson’s thought on immigration, race, and the possibility of a multiracial republic
