You have now completed your first draft of the assignment and you ask your friend to read it and give you some feedback. She has a few questions about a section in which you deal with the same passage she quoted from the Notes. Your paragraph reads:

Jefferson believed that the relationship between master and slave had an unhappy impact on the manners of Americans. It led to violent passions and great despotism. 'Our children see this, and learn to imitate it,' he said. Could the liberties of the nation be secured when the people no longer thought that they were a gift from god? Ultimately, Jefferson feared some shift in fate that would make masters pay for enslaving Africans. He wrote, 'I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just: that his justice cannot sleep forever.'²
