Jefferson's friend Edward Coles is known as a staunch abolitionist, however I have seen an 1832 letter from Coles to Madison saying that blacks and whites could not live together and that freed blacks must be colonized to Africa. Has anyone on the list studied Coles enough to say whether this expresses his actual opinions or was he tailoring his remarks for Madison? Did Coles have a change of heart?
