That was exactly his conflicting thoughts about them. How to move them west the Mississippi to allow white people to settle in those lands and make them productive.
After the Lewis and Clark Expedition in 1806, Jefferson was convinced that those territories had to be given to white settlers to make profits.
The First and Second Estates, comprised almost unanimously of the nobility, could always outvote the Third Estate. Since 1614, the economic power of the Third Estate had increased dramatically; in 1788, the popular call was to double the number of representatives from the Third Estate so that they'd have equal voting power in comparison with the other two estates. They wanted equal rights to vote and have representation in their government.
