most do not know now that southern and western europeans were of mixed descent and many had dark complexion. king charles the 2nd had a dark complexion.
@thomgri Says:
ai: Many European slaves were captured by Muslim pirates and slave traders operating from ports in North Africa, such as Algiers, Tunis, and Tripoli. Enslaved Europeans were sold to slave markets in the Mediterranean, the Middle East, and the Americas. Some European slaves were taken to the Americas, particularly to the Spanish colonies in the Caribbean and South America.

As President of the U.S., Washington continued to own slaves. He made the life of Ona Judge almost unbearable, continuing to offer a reward for having her hunted down, and returned to him, and his wife, after she escaped from them while they were in Philadelphia. George and Martha Washington were flawed human beings, as are we all.
@karlwhite2733 Says:
Complete and utter nonsense. Racist U and their misinformation, blatant dishonesty, and propaganda.
@SockieTheSockPuppet Says:
He was the only one of the Founding Fathers to _successfully_ free his slaves. Jefferson tried many times while in office in his home state to get slavery abolished, but to no avail. His only option was a will like Washington had done, but the tragedy is that his creditors found a way to undermine the will after his death, and took the slaves to settle debts.
@frankgrima Says:
Nothing new, Kamala Harris had four hundred slaves in her family.
@RuthlessRaoul Says:
Maybe the stoidi that destroyed his statues should replace them all the while saying, "This man tried to free his slaves but was prevented in doing so until he died."
@analoguedragon7438 Says:
The most important fact about slavery is that it was abolished.

And now, they love oppression & segregation. Weird.

It goes to show you that one person can make a huge difference in the world. 🇺🇸

And now they commit most of the crime and destroy every city they’re living in, while hating the whites and country and seeking to destroy our culture. 😂
@dcriket9 Says:
Consider the sad fate of African slaves sold to the Muslim countries, who were castrated and will never have heirs.
@thee_number_six6227 Says:
The majority of the 300 slaves on his estate belonged to his wife and Washington couldn't legally do anything about their plight except treating them well. I don't remember specifics as school was a long time ago but they belonged to his wife's family or a previous Husband who had passed and no one could do anything about it.
@Vanilla-Mayonnaise Says:
I love this. This just adds to my love of America history. I've never heard this specific story before.

Thomas Jefferson freed his slaves to
@garrettkraniak3020 Says:
And yet the last slave was not freed until 1942. Go figure. Our ancestors weren’t good people.
@stephanc6138 Says:
freedom was repaid. by these actions...an by blood shed during civil war. those who demand repatriations for slavery, are only demanding to be enslaved (again) before it can be paid.
@timothyluckey5020 Says:
This is something that the liberals don't want to know 😮. It takes away the victim mentality and the power they have over others 😢
@richardfolkman Says:
Slaves have been part of so many societies in the past, all over the world. The issue of slavery in the US is no different. The fact that the US and the UK worked to end it in their country is something that should never be ignored.
@jbourne4444 Says:
I believe he hunted a slave that he did not set free for years.
@lylehurlburt3259 Says:
This is why he never claimed his bastard children. We have a letter in our family bible from him that states this

In 20 years they may feel the same way about pet owners. 😂

Meanwhile, in England slavery was illegal, but English Americans took advantage of their status in America to implement slavery

Not accepted, expected. Bible plainly says 2 classes. One man to rule over the others, Gen1:28, one to work the garden "Agro Man" Gen2:5.
@mikehigbee2320 Says:
Every American of every race should fall to their knees and give thanks to God they were born in a country founded by the likes of George Washington.
@jbapples4611 Says:
Even big time lefty Gore Vidal wrote a book commending then founding fathers on their efforts wrestling with the morality of slavery and birthing of nation.
@baller1661 Says:
George Washington wasn't only born into a society with slavery as a societal norm but, an entire world were slavery was the norm. Regions like Europe and what areas we now know as Asia, the Middle East and Africa, at the time of George Washington's birth, had structural slavery for thousands of years. And yes, at times, these regions had evolution through different countries, rulers, religions and societies. Even throughout the Americas, before the white man. But, slavery around the world was normal in the 1720's.
@thinkharder1645 Says:
I bet he is regretting that now... Seeing how they used their freedom.
@beehive5835 Says:
Meanwhile slavery was still going on (and still is) in Africa, where MORE white Europeans were enslaved and kidnapped back to Africa than black Africans were taken to America!
@joynkindness Says:
African blacks started slavery. Stop demonizing America. M arr
@kightsun Says:
If he hated slavery he would have remianed loyal to the crown. The south largely joined the union with the aim of independence to protect their slave interests from London, the North went with independence with the aim of union. These intertwined aims eventually contradicted each other leading to the Civil War.
@johnchandler1687 Says:
Several of the founders wanted to free their slaves, but couldn't. Slaves were property attached to thei estates and most if those were heavily mortgaged to help finance the Revolution. As such they couldn't be freed ir sold until those mortgages were paid off. So really, it was the bankers and money lenders who kept them in skavery not the plantation owners. Just like they keep us all in financial slavery today.
@CaptainFantastic222 Says:
Good thing he didn’t take his cues on slavery from the Bible
@Hendreh1 Says:
Why didnt He sent them Back to africa 😡😡😡😡
@michaelsullivanjr7436 Says:
Accepted by who?🤔🤣
@brokenpiece8297 Says:
Honestly this shit happened so long ago it shouldnt matter. No one talkes about the Irish or the countless other races that were endlaved. it just gives bored Americans something to bitch about.
@TheRichardsonReport Says:
The irony that blacks made slavery legal in America so they could own them like they did back in Africa. Thank God that white people fought to have it banned in our country. Their sacrifice is not forgotten.
@fort5521 Says:
The problem with your video is you do not break down the term slave because the majority of people at that time we’re bond servant, slaves, meaning they borrowed money or stole something and they had to work until they paid it off. No different than today the majority of students coming out of university people who get a mortgage people who sign a contract with a company or bond, servant, slaves. Second that you missed they were not only African-Americans, pointing out the most obvious Irish that went into debt to come to America and then we’re horribly abused into slavery by the Protestant British, but there were Mexicans and Germans and all kinds of people who acquired debt couldn’t pay it off, and had become slaves of whoever the bank sold them to . These are economic facts more brutal 300 years ago than they are today, but there’s lots of people living on the street because they lost their mortgage and lost their job especially the last four years and are now slaves living in poverty. Western countries understood this fact, 70 years ago before the Marxist along with a lot of help from Luciferian fascist Freemasons slipped the entire educational script that came out of both from Hitler Stalin and Mao proving McCarthy was right all along.
@mattfrain6526 Says:
Technically the first president of the united states was British, born in the colony sure but it was a British colony and they considered themselves British sooooo yeh, you're welcome 😉
@gapperx9068 Says:
Very nice. However, if a time machine is ever invented. Id like to go back & warn them to turn back the ships. Just not worth it.
@identity7782 Says:
If you inherited slaves and kept them so they wouldn't go to a violent person or buy slaves from someone beating them the left would smear and defame you
@Gofish163 Says:
Interestingly enough Kamala Harris and her family also got rich off the backs of black slaves! That's a fact! Now she tells the American people she herself is a black woman😂 Get out of here😊 That is all carry-on
@85justsomedude Says:
Shouldve rehired the Jewish boat owners to take them all back to Africa. Problem solved. Country saved. But no , here we are over 200 years later still dealing with this shit
@thomasmolloy5447 Says:
And leftist BIGOTS hate him anyway. The same bigots go and make movies like "the woman king", celebrating some of the worst UNREPENTANT slavers in history. Abolution of slavery has NO African roots inside African.
@Cumon_eatur.artout Says:
