historical information about how and when "the ownership of slaves in most civilized countries" became illegal or "unfashionable"
Whilst it is true that Washington had his slaves released at his death, this is hardly gracious of him. To quote Voltaire "The man who leaves money to charity in his will is only giving away what no longer belongs to him"
