John Adams, on slavery, had written and said relatively little, but he was on the record as critical of the privileged Southern society whose power depended on human bondage.
American presidents have a complicated history with slavery. Four of the first five presidents owned slaves while serving as president. Of the next five presidents, two owned slaves while president and two had owned slaves earlier in life. As late as 1850 an American president was the owner of a large number of slaves while serving in office.
