No, I have no problem with Washington, Jefferson & Adams. They have been & always will be some of my favorite historical figures(along with their wives). Remember "behind every great man was a great woman"....is absolutely true; in fact 2 great women: their mother & their wife. It's ridiculous to criticize them for owning slaves in 1776 because that was the landowner system at that time. We cannot sanitize history......but we can learn from the mistakes of the past. I doubt that John Adams owned slaves......in Massachusetts??
