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.
