[P-Marlowe]

George Washington was perhaps the largest slave owner of his day. You want to ‘ban’ him, too?

Actually his wife owned most of the slaves. He just happened to marry the richest widow in America.

“Actually his wife owned most of the slaves. He just happened to marry the richest widow in America. “

That’s true. And when George Washington freed his own slaves upon his death, the slaves from Martha’s dowry weren’t included in that action; they eventually were passed on to her children. One of them being the future father in law of Robert E Lee.
