    Q8. George Washington possibly owned the most slaves of any US president, with an estimated 600 - 1000 over his lifetime, while Jefferson was estimated to have owned 200 - 600+.

    I'm curious as to your sources. The Mount Vernon Historical Records, has a full database of every enslaved person owned by either the Washington or Custis estate. According to that record, Washington himself owned 123 human beings at the time of his d***h, but many others throughout his lifetime. I'd have to do some work to find the actual number because they are using census data, and so the same people are counted multiple times. But from my brief scan the number is going to be less than 350. Now Martha Custis inherited a large number of enslaved humans from her late husband, before she married Washington. But even that number would put the total at less than 600. That said, according to the estate he also "rented" (this is all so horrible) a number of human beings from his neighbors. BTW, a lot is said about GW "freeing" his slaves at the time of his d***h. This is true, but he only freed his own slaves, not his wife's. And she had the larger number.
