  • It’s ‘Washington’s Birthday’: Here Are His 5 Most Important Warnings to Congress

    February 18, 2013 at 2:13pm

    In reply to normalmom.

    Actually, G. Washington didn’t own most of his slaves. He wanted to free them before he died but couldn’t because they were tied to Martha’s estate. Upon retirement, Martha had 200 slaves. The President may not have agreed w/slavery, but for practicle purposes they weren’t getting a very good return siting a third as too young or too old, a third unproductive & the other third as productive leaving a 130/140 unproductive mouths to feed. Upon his death in Dec. 1799, only three years after leaving office, his wife still owned their slaves. They also had a woman slave in the White House who escaped twice, the second time never to return.
