If it wasn't for Washington, there wouldn't even be a United States. He was a general in the fight against the British. It was a society that had slaves. That was just reality back in those days, and not everyone treated their slaves poorly. Many times slaves were treated and saw themselves as a part of the family. Some stayed even after they legally were free to leave. Do we want slavery back? Absolutely not, but nevertheless, not all owners of slaves were evil monsters. And in this case, the slave owner risked his life for his country and was the first U.S. President. If we can't have statues of Washington, we simply can't have any statues at all. Side: They must stay
