George was a national hero and one of the most beloved Americans in history. That's why. These people are trying to memory hole this great man. We won't let them.

Slavery was wrong but at the time it was normalized. Cant punish current society for past societal norms

George Washington never bought a slave but inherited them from his wife thus freeing them after her death.

Because he was a straight white man who accomplished more than any of them could ever dream.

this is false. jefferson also did the same but his debtors claimed his slaves as property. so after he died the bank took his stuff.

When you go to the Liberty Bell in Philly there is a display for Washington slaves while waiting in line. Don't remeber a mention of him letting them free.
