Enslaved Workers.

The Lives of enslaved workers on George Washingtons outlying Farms. At the height of its development as a Plantation, Mount Vernon consisted of 8000 acres,Divided into 5 Separate Farms.

1. The mansion house farm with 500 acres. At the time of Washingtons death in 1799, Slaves made up 90% of the plantations population, with a bit more than 300 slaves and about 20 to 30 whites, living on 5 farms. 90 slaves resided at the mansion house farm. 2 The Dugue run farm. with 45 slaves on 650 acres. 3 The river farm containing 1207 acres with 57 slaves. 4 The muddy hole farm which had 476 acres and 41 slaves. 5 The union farm  976 acres with 76 slaves 40 of whom were rented from a neighbor. I want post the entire finding on George Washingtons enslaved workers. However I will encourage you to read this complete Research. George Washington was born into a world of slavery, infact for his 11 yo birthday he was given 11 slaves as a gift. And when he died he left a world of slavery. Our first President never knew any other world. There are much we need to know and learn about 8 U.S Presidents that own slaves.




I give honor and thanks to the American Black Women.

The Slave Owner.

The death rate among slaves were high, prolong breast feeding was inhibting reproduction. So the Slave owner encouraged slaves to have more children. Child bearing for female slaves started around 13yo, and by age 20 they had 4-5 children. Some slave owners promised slave women that if they had 15 children they could have there freedom. The mindset of one slave owner from virginia boast that his successful breeding policies enable him to sell 6000 slave children a year. Some slave owners fathered there own slave children. A slave women  could never be true to her husband, she had no right to her own body. As we live in America today we can see where the disrespect, and the hatered of a group of people came from. It came from American Slavery. 1502-1865.
