Nobody in their right mind condones slavery in this day and age, but George Washington and Thomas Jefferson were born into long-standing slave-holding. They couldn't help being born into slave-holding any more than the slaves could help being born into slavery. They deserve to be honored for creating a nation under a constitution that eventually abolished slavery. <<George Washington and Thomas Jefferson appeared to understand the very contradictory nature of owning slaves and having been such a big part of creating a new country that was built on a new principle. >>
