*George Washington was very clear in his letter to the Jews he visited in Rhode Island,

[elleng]

1. Amen

[dubyadiprecession]

2. George owned slaves.

[Shoonra]

3. Yes and he provided for their freedom

George Washington did own slaves and in his will he gave instructions that they should be freed after Martha's death. He did not free them immediately because, his will explained, some of his slaves were married to Martha's slaves, and, additionally, he was concerned that Martha should not be without sufficient servants. Martha survived him by a little more than two years.

[Hekate]

5. And therefore he did nothing good on this Earth, nor did Jefferson

I'm sure this fact cancels out the Treaty of Tripoli as well.

6. And Hitler loved animals.

Sooooooooo....
