Description
Presents a narrative documenting the transformation in George Washington's attitudes towards slavery, culminating in his determination to emancipate his slaves. Though raised as slaveowner, he began to see the evils of the system and grew to understand that the problem of the "peculiar institution" would become central to the American experience.
