I stopped reading RIGHT THERE.
David Barton has FORGOTTEN more about colonial Virginia law than this guy will EVER KNOW. David Barton has the largest private collection of the Founders' letters in America, and maybe the world. I think I trust Barton's books more than this guy.
Washington, while living in Virginia, managed to manumit several of his slaves during his lifetime, and the remainder of them on his death - if Jefferson had felt as driven as Washington, he could have done the same.
Lots of founder bashing going on at FR these days.
Here’s one on the evils of George Washington.
