Hello! In this weeks episode, we take at look at the Washingtons and Slavery. Both George and Martha had slave holdings before they married, but they seeemed to have different understandings about the institution of slavery. If you stay until the end of the episode, I also go over three snippits of the lives of three enslaved people at Mount Vernon.
