When I visited Mt. Vernon some of the slaves were buried on the property and the tombstones read something like “it was a privilege to serve the Washington family”. Still slaves for sure but I doubt any of them were forced to have their teeth pulled.

Yes and some of the “enslaved people” were sent to Paris for the culinary arts. Some even having their own collections of bone china!

Lol. Who wrote the tombstone? The Jefferson family obviously. Slavery did nothing but destroy this country. So stupid that people decided it was cool to kidnap people and hold them hostage. And why isn’t African countries part of the blame for selling their people to the idiot buyers?
