B. the end of slavery.

Explanation:

Jefferson brilliantly wrote about the need to outlaw slavery, most notably in a draft Declaration of Independence which blamed King George Third for violations of human rights for his active part in the slave trade. He once believed that blacks were of course inferior to other races, but later accepted that servitude could have had an effect on their abilities. He was agreed on freeing slaves and separating them from the United States.
