How does Henry Wiencek call “an avid abolitionist and moralist throughout his lifetime” someone who “inherited 10 slaves at his father’s death in 1743. When he died on Dec. 14, 1799, 317 slaves, 123 belonging to Washington himself, lived on his five plantations” ? (http://gwpapers.virginia.edu/project/news/wpost/sbconroy2.html)
