I would hope that the new Administration would reverse this decision of the Park Service. I would hope you don't hold your breath waiting, or that resounding thud we'll here, will be your head bouncing off your keyboard. Anything these scum can do to erase our heritage, they're willing to do. Out with the old in with the old, as far as administrations are concerned. This might become apparent to people when the next repub is elected and this crap continues. I want hold my breath on that one. Blackbird.

So they should not mention that Washington owned slaves, and at the same time he was declaring himself and others independent of England he still felt himself (as did Jefferson) empowered by God to own their fellow man?

I say Hell yes they should let people know about this. It just goes to show that times change.

If you try to make Washington, Jefferson (or Jeff Davis and Lincoln for that matter) into something they are not, or something more than they are, you are guilty of a lie or a sin of omission.

Obviously, slavery is not the most important issue on the site of the signing of the Declaration of Independence. Buy when you think that less than 90 years later the Southern States would try to dissolve the Union set there over that very issue, it becomes an interesting footnote.
