Washington acutally FREED his own slaves though. All of them. That is way, way more than Jefferson did. Sure Washington freed his slaves in his will, and it would have been even better to free them during his life, but still, the man freed all his slaves. That should count for some consideration when history judges him.

The small number of personally owned slaves that Washington freed and Jefferson didn't does pale in comparison to the hundreds of thousands that could have been enslaved had Jefferson not outlawed the Slave Trade.

But still, bear in mind we are debating the morals of actual slavers here. Just because one of them may have been less slaving than the other doesn't change the fact that neither should have owned them in the first place.
