Excellent presentation. I wonder too if there was any awareness or engagement Washington had of Rev Richard Allen and Absalom Jones in Philadelphia and if it influenced his views on Slavery.
George Washington was very much a hands on planter of the period. He was like a scientist in the field and an inventor. He didn't just give instructions and things magically happened.
I was hoping to learn more about farming! You really should retitle this video because you really don’t spend any time talking about agriculture, it’s about slavery! Disappointed!
Yes, it’s six minutes of repeating that Washington owned many slaves, and that THEY actually did the work. Is there anyone alive that didn’t know that already.
OMG, we get it! Washington owned slaves!!! Slavery is inexcusable. You don’t have to reiterate that every minute. Did anyone really believe that Washington actually did the farm work himself? Good thing you cleared that up for us. The constant repetition of a fact that every freaking person on earth already knows makes this whole thing tedious to watch when we really wanted to gain information. Sort of a colonial “Groundhog Day” where the same scene is repeated. Rename the video: “Watch how our staff does historical Flagellation”.
It's known as "people-first language," and the reasoning is that by calling them 'slaves' you resort them to object and not people. Slaves dehumanizes the experience and existence, whereas enslaved people does, in many ways, remind the scholar that they were human beings victimized by an institution. You're not supposed to say homeless anymore, it's "people experiencing homelessness" - another example. By the way, just want to say, I'm not endorsing or criticizing the language, I serve on the board of a museum and thought I'd let you know the contemporary thinking behind the phrasing.
@@JackieDaytona1776 You should suggest "people experiencing slavery" at your next board meeting. These linguistic gymnastics do nothing for the people whom you are imagining.
Very good presentation. It would help if the hands were less distracting.

Very interesting thank you for letting me know George Washington’s views on slavery.
Not really that much about agriculture. ..

Came here for agriculture. Was as disappointed as the Irish slaves who are all forgotten. Oh well, happy black history month 😂🤘

"Enslaved community?" Why do you not call them slaves? Sounds like you're trying to avoid the harsh reality.
