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..😷
@whowasthatmaskedman And there were abolitionists then, too. 😳
