Accent

Do we know which accent George Washington had ? Mackem or Geordie ? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 167.1.176.4 (talk) 15:52, 22 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Slavery

Uh.....the section on his role in slavery is shamefully biased and brief, mentions nothing of his insistance on slaves who fled across to the British lines being returned (and the subsequent British snub of this request which enraged him) and even tries to paint him in a good light when the reality what vastly different!

Lets have this page a fairer, truer reflection of historical fact and less as a national ego-massaging myth which doesn't travel outside the US and is even losing impact here.

Anyone who can stand by such blatant patriotic guff and call it a good article should be ashamed. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.161.244.202 (talk) 18:50, 6 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Children?

Children

This site: http://www.americanpresidents.org/presidents/president.asp?PresidentNumber=28 shows that George had 2 children? Your Wiki entry says he had none but had 2 nephews...which is it? This is why wiki's are bad. More often than not the data in the entries is incorrect. What a waste.

Indeed, he had two children. This needs to be corrected. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Codewerdna (talk • contribs) 17:06, 8 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

These two were stepchildren from his (widowed) wife's former marriage; they were not descended from George Washington. The source, which I believe is reliable, is http://www.infoplease.com/askeds/family-george-washington.html . —Adavidb 01:01, 9 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
