Who owned slaves among Franklin, Washington, Adams, Jefferson, and Hamilton?

I think all but John Adams and Hamilton..

Jefferson and Washington owned slaves. Washington freed his slaves towards the end of his life but they stayed with him anyway (or so I've read). Adams didn't own slaves; both he and Abigail were strictly opposed to slave ownership. In fact, Abigail was criticized for teaching some of the local slaves owned by others to read and write. I don't think Franklin had slaves and I don't know about Hamilton.

I know for a fact that Washington and Jefferson did. I don't believe Franklin or Adams did, and I'm not too sure about Hamilton.

Franklin owned two slaves, George and King

franklin owned two slaves, but became an abolitionist.

washington had as many as 316 slaves.

adams did not own slaves.

jefferson owned up to 141 slaves.

combat it. incredibly with regard to the Federal Reserve Act of 1913, they might have vehemently unfavorable it. the form of a powerful economic business enterprise is the main reason they fought England in the 1st place! The FRA grow to be a stab at as quickly as in the returned of those founding fathers who died scuffling with it. i'm ashamed to assert that the president who signed it, Wilson, grow to be a Democrat. All in all, i think of we've an exceedingly diverse government now than they imagined. some modifications have been for the extra advantageous, like blacks and girls human beings vote casting, and a few have been for the extra severe, like the FRA.

Never heard of any blacks with the last name of Adams or Franklin so I assume those two never owned slaves.

Washington & Jefferson - yes.

Adams - no.

I'm not sure about Franklin or Hamilton, but I would guess not.

I'm sure Wikipedia would cover it.

Since only 2 of the individuals mentioned are southerners with majore estates i would think you would already know

Washington and jefferson

Judging ancient history by todays standards is hypothetical at best.
