Category:American slave owners

[edit]

This label now seems to be pasted on to every American in history who ever owned a slave, however un-notable this aspect of his career. It is clearly meant as a smear by certain diversity editors. The only mention of slavery in this article is: The will also provided freedom for his slaves. I think this person should be removed from the category.
