Washington was, by the standards of the day, very kind to his slaves and--if I remember correctly--freed them in his will upon his death. As I mentioned earlier, I'm going back on the 26th, so I'll be sure to ask specifically.<BR/><BR/>Lara: Pretty, isn't it?

Was it a black slave, or? I'd love to think that the father of our country would put his trust in a black person, but did he? Your postings make me think and wonder.
