Jefferson, despite owning slaves among other flaws, was opposed to slavery:

Thomas Jefferson and Slavery

https://www.monticello.org/site/plantation-and-slavery/thomas-jefferson-and-slavery

Throughout his entire life, Thomas Jefferson was a consistent opponent of slavery. Calling it a “moral depravity”1 and a “hideous blot,”2 he believed that slavery presented the greatest threat to the survival of the new American nation.3 Jefferson also thought that slavery was contrary to the laws of nature, which decreed that everyone had a right to personal liberty.4 These views were radical in a world where unfree labor was the norm. ...

Obama, on the other hand, was a major champion of "the right to choose" to deliberately kill innocent unborn human beings" and even fought against the "Born Alive Infants Protection Act" to prevent the execution of children who survived the abortion process. He also fought for the federal funding of Planned Parenthood & other abortuaries.
