What Was George Washington's Private Life Like?

- During the American Revolution, newspapers printed sensational stories about George Washington's affairs. An enslaved woman named Venus claimed George fathered her son. And years after his passing, a racy love letter written to a married woman threatened to destroy George's sterling reputation. But what was Washington's private life really like? Was he as virtuous as his reputation? And what about George Washington's children - is it true the man died without ever fathering one?

washington, through a time portal: "mind yo damn business"

LOL..
Wow no wonder why the Bible calls a nation the great whore! Of all the sexual stuff that has and still is going on here from TOP to the bottom, I wouldn't doubt that God was talking about this country! Very secretive past exclamation point I'm glad it's been being revealed!
Another interesting fact: old Georgie had a terrible temper when pushed to it, and it came out when haggling to buy the property that the White House now sits on. The property was originally owned by a stubborn old Scotsman by the name of David Burns. After Congress had decided to create what is now D.C. they allocated funds for the Executive branch to buy property to build on. Since the land D.C. sits on was essentially a swamp, most of the landowners were all too happy to find someone willing to buy it, but not David Burns. Living up to the stereotype of the penny-pinching Scot, he refused Washington's many offers to buy his property because he felt the president's bid was too low. This made Washington furious as Burns was the only holdout and his property was necessary to build his grand vision of a federal district since it was in a central location of the proposed city. So Washington actually went to visit Burns to negotiate in person, which ended with Washington uncharacteristically losing his cool. And Washington had to leave empty-handed. Burns eventually sold part, but not all, of his property to the government, and even then got a premium for it. Plus, he ended up selling much of it to private investors for better prices and left the rest to his daughter when he died. And Washington received a lesson in humility.
Never knew that learn something new everyday thank you for information
Had never herd this before, thanks for the interesting read!
@Paul Cox lol RIGHT!!!
@David McConville A small parcel next to the Ellipse in front of the White House was kept by Burn's daughter, Marcia, throughout her life, and she had a grand mansion built there. After she and her husband died the property was sold multiple times to private entities. Then, in the early 1900s it was sold to the State Department, and they built the Organization of American States building that stands there now. So, in the end, the government did get the last little bit, but it took over a hundred years.
...and then that's where fake news began
My great grandfather who was born in 1893 used both mules and horses in farming and transporting equipment. I remember him clearly stating that mules were far more cooperative and durable than horses.
Thats awesome. Thx 4 sharing👍
Mike Hopkins In my state historically they were likewise used for hill town agricultural plots as tobacco and as😊asparagus were grown alot here for long periods
Mules were smarter too…hard to get a mule to go through water or walk into bullets. Horses will though. All those royally bred thoroughbreds the American military stole from the breeding farms of Kentucky and Virginia . The military did the same thing during the civil war….stole horses bred for racing to use in the war. That’s why the stud books are empty before the American revolution and civil war. All those great breeding Stallions stolen and gone forever from the record books. That’s why the stud books in America don’t start until some time in the 1800s. Also, Justin Morgan ….the Morgan horse foundation sire was actually a stolen horse that was sold to Morgan later on. He was likely sired by Messenger.

Cool
Radical, dude! I'm actually George's 8th great nephew, wish we could meet!
I'm surprised a lot of the really great facts about Washington were omitted from this video, such as:
- Washington was both the first and 16th president - First president of the US, and 16th president of the Continental Congress at the time the government restructure occurred.
- He was obsessed with ice cream (essentially what we call Italian ice today) and macadamia nuts
- Washington shattered his teeth because he would crack macadamia nuts with them (a fact Jefferson loved to tease him about)
- Washington's false teeth were actually made of whale bone
- The groundskeeper was paid in booze by contract (the contract is currently on display at the Smithsonian, I believe)
- He had a fiery temper and whenever he got angry, old George would throw his hat on the ground and stomp on it
- As president, he didn't bother to wear a powdered wig like his contemporaries, since his hair had gone white on its own
- From land surveyor to general to politician to president of two government bodies, Washington's CofE is perhaps the most diverse of all the Founding Fathers after Franklin.
Never heard that bit about his temper or breaking his teeth biting nuts! Thanks for the interesting info!

Every historical figure must be viewed within the context of their day and never through the lens of our own times. That is how we best preserve, learn from and, venerate our past heroes and history.
In the context of his day, Washington was a particularly strict slave owner, who used a loophole in Pennsylvania state law to hold onto his slaves for longer than was allowed. Not a great look

It's always fascinating to learn of the personal lives of historical figures like George Washington. It really makes them more relatable.
“Personal Sleep Partner” - sure she was!
With all the “sleep partner” theories, they’ve failed to mention how much Washington worried about Martha’s wellbeing during the war while she was at Mount Vernon.

@@cocomunga That's not what the acronym means in this case based on the original post.
Washington suffered with bad teeth and a sickly childhood, mumps and such, likely resulting in him being childless. Another story, Nelly Custis , Martha's niece who lived with them at Mount Vernon, was very good at singing and playing the harpsicord, often entertained Mount Vernon guests. Story is that her life fell apart emotionaly, with Washingtons death and she never fully recovered.
Nope, still like the guy!💜
The world was just a very different place then.

-wife
The reason Washington did not immediately free his slaves is because many of them had intermarried with Martha's slaves, and he did not want to break up the families. This is why he ordered them to be freed after Martha had died. She would not free hers while she was alive because of how important they were to her business, despite George wanting to free his

@@matthewbailey2013 You do know slaves comprised more than majority share in a plantation's value, right? No sane planter would risk devaluing his net worth or fortune freeing them...

Fun fact: Martha is also Batman's and Superman's mothers name.
I can't say that any of this changed my opinions about him. As for the number of slaves he owned as a plantation owner that number isn't surprising. Plantations were huge enterprises and the notion of using free labor on them wasn't a serious consideration. I'm not even sure if people actually hired people to work on farms doing the work the slaves did. Incidentally the tasks of of some slaves would have been skilled ones as well as field work such as carpenters and blacksmiths. There was one story I remember from a history lecture supposedly of Washington inspecting a mill on his estate. The slaves who worked there showed him everything was in order and he felt satisfied with their work. The he claimed as he rode away he could see from the corner of his eye the slaves breaking out the cards and the rum barrel, and he said "I wouldn't have blamed them if they did."
The place was a giant European Tobacco farm.
Sounds very unlike Washington. He was reportedly very strict with his slaves, and ordered them to work from sun up till sun down 6 days a week (provable in letters). He also killed there dogs when he suspected they were using them for things without his permission. I wouldn’t expect him to respect slaves if he owned them, it’s kind of mutually exclusive
@@halion4487Maybe, I heard this in a college lecture and I might be wrong about it, but keep in mind people have a tendency to work around things including harsh bosses in order to survive. I'm sure if he rode back he'd see the same order he expected and the same would be seen everywhere else. People know how to work a system given the chance. As an officer in the Army he knew how people operate and so long as things were done and productive he might not have bothered. It was only when there was trouble he acted - it was the same with the Continental Army when there was a mutiny in Morristown where he had people executed. I think he was more concerned about order and if there was order he might not have bothered otherwise.
@@schizoidboy what about him using a loophole to keep his slaves for longer?
@@majesticgee7610 I'm not sure about that because I don't know the background to that loophole. Considering slaves were property in the first place one might assume he could keep them indefinitely. The problem with freeing slaves was in Virginia you had to pay them upon release, or at least that's what I heard. His plantation was not as prosperous as it should have been so that might explain the harsh conditions the slaves had to go through and I've only heard little of it. I heard he was slave rich, money poor. I did hear he wanted to free his own slaves, but he couldn't do the same for the ones his wife owned. Again I'm not sure about the loophole you mentioned. Then again keep in mind people who are stuck in a certain situation will workout a way of living if they can. I think in the case of the story I described that I heard in a college lecture it describes something about that situation. The slaves keep up their work, made it look like they were keeping up things, and when the master's away it's a different situation. I suppose if the work gets done and there are no other issues than it can work out. I'm sure something like that happened all the time with the Continental Army. Likewise he could be harsh. During the mutiny in New Jersey he was forced to hang some soldiers to keep order. It tells me much the same about Washington.

Gore Vidal wrote that Washington never won a battle. Garry Wills once said in a lecture I attended he thought Washington the best president because, at the end of his second term, there was no reign of terror or coup. He just threw the keys at John Adams and went home.
Washington certainly won Trenton and Princeton, and I give him much of the credit for Yorktown, plus he got the British to abandon Boston by getting cannons there. Vidal was an amazing writer, but was prone to exaggerate.
