George and Martha Washington enslaved 300 people. Let's start with their names.

37. My position is this.

Confederate monuments and emblems must be removed from public land or government emblems.

The rest? Times then were different. The nation was basically a white supremacist nation. So prominent figures likely owned human beings. What do we do about that? What we don't do is run around tearing shit down, but we push for an accurate recording of history, good and bad. We push for additional words at monuments to them that fully explain what they were, including their enslaving human beings. Our history has been white-washed for 400+ years, we need to push to make it accurate, making it accurate is not erasing it.
