Did Washington free his slaves after his death? No. After his death, Washington was dead. Martha Washington freed her slaves and his about a year after George Washington died.

Stop the word games, Washington left it in his will that they be freed, as long as Martha was not hurt by freeing them.

Martha was following Washington's wishes.
