He did liberate his slaves, eventually. And one of the last things he did before he died was to formally petition Congress to abandon slavery.

I don't think you really have any basis for that analysis of franklins psychology. If anything, I think the safe assumption is just that for most of his life slavery was there and people don't always question every part of society.
