George Washington slave owner

Is it true he made a very old black man work on in the rain馃憖

As a tobacco farmer Washington had a working population of slaves. Its doubtful he had any direct supervision of any of them and probably only had contact of any kind with some of the house servants.. Now as unacceptable as we might find this, it was the norm of society then..馃樂
@whowasthatmaskedman And there were abolitionists [b]then[/b], too. 馃槼

I think he inherited one. I've heard that. But I don't know. Or maybe that was Lincoln.

If you were to believe the pathetic modern woke white neoliberal leftie losers that love to rewrite history and literature.
He owned other human beings. The circumstances are negligible.
