[quote=Anonymous]To be clear, while a PP wrote about other contemporaries freeing their slaves, manumission was a very difficult process, legally as well as financially. George Washington did not succeed in freeing his slaves, during his life or on his deathbed, although he wanted to. It was too difficult. And very few slaveowners ever did, not because they were evil people but because the system was designed to prevent it. Many people thought it was an evil thing and would have done so, which was why the system was designed to prevent it.[/quote]
