Thanks for the ping, NVA and for the post, BGHater. I was completely unaware of Carter. Great story...as a side note, Washington was another Virginian and slave holder who was torn by slavery. Washington took small steps, but since he wanted a political future, knew if he renounced slavery in colonial Virginia, his ambitions would be for naught.
