Hardcover with 256 pages. Copyright 1997. General Washington in the postwar period uniquely combined the moral authority, personal prestige, and political power to significantly influence the course and the outcome of the slavery debate. The end of the War for Independence in 1783 brought George Washington a dilemma: how to reconcile the proclaimed ideals of the revolution with the established institution of slavery.
