Hi mrbeat

mel gibson brad pitt brittany spears the royal family kate middleton taylor swift many other presidents nixon eisenhower roosevelts carter.,,,,,,,,,

i'm 100 and i don't look like that :(

its an actor

I whole heartedly agree

I enjoyed it. I hope they do more videos like this one.

Yes, please do so. I would like to see the general and Mrs. Washington doing these videos.

I’m just amazed such a busy man has time for you tube videos😅😅😂

I wonder if he performs at Chautauquas.

its not an actor.

What actor?

I always figured he'd speak with a Southern accent

​@@jabber1990 ​​ nah, if anything Washington would've had something more skin to an English accent. He was born in 1732, when the colonies were still firmly British, and he'd served in the British army. His family had come over less than a hundred years earlier from NE England. An accent that we'd recognize as a distinctly American southern accent wouldn't have evolved yet, even by the Civil War decades later, they wouldn't have sounded like what you hear in NC or GA or AL now . If you want to get a good idea for how Washington and American colonists at the time would've sounded, watch the show TURN about Washington's spies, or the HBO miniseries John Adams. You can hear the beginnings of Boston and NY and Southern accents, but all still heavily influenced by British and Irish accents.

I honestly thought he'd have a southern accent

George Washington house 🏠 is great 😊 and nice I see that it isn’t messy good for him ❤ sad that he died 😢

What a gentleman

What's his name

Mount Vernon is monument to slavey....only u yanquis would like it

And an “owner” he was indeed…

So cute 🎉

Ya would’ve been great if you were Washington and not anyone else! certainly not one of the hundreds of slaves he had at Vernon!

@@markk8588 if he did that today it'd certainly wouldn't look good. Hey but he wrote in his will for his slaves to be freed after his death so that's perhaps something. Better not condemn the whole for the thing every Virginia planter did in the 18th century.

@@krunkle5136 slaves would literally try to escape his plantation just to get to a different one because Washington SPECIFICALLY was cruel, so even by their standards which yes may have normalized it (which we shouldn’t forget is the same as nazis and hitler youth it’s still bad) he was still horrible ,and probably realized how awful he was at the end of his life and did it just to get into heaven or something lol

@@markk8588 William Ellison was a prosperous black slave owner who was known to be particularly evil. There were quite a few prosperous black slave owners as well as most native American tribes that had slaves. Guess what they supported and fought for the south in the civil war. I think we need to get rid of Christianity and Islam. The Bible condones slavery and the prophet Muhammad owned and sold slaves. BTW Mark if you were a plantation owner back in those times YOU would have been a slave owner even if you were black. Oh and there was a man named Anthony Johnson he was the first legal slave owner in the colonies. A black man and a former slave at that. You know Mark Africans were selling and enslaving their own long before the Transatlantic slave trade. And when slavery ended in the US they still continued to sell their own throughout the Caribbean and South America...leaving them in cages along the shore to be picked up..oh and the majority of slaves at MT Vernon were not George Washington's nor Martha's. They were the slaves from Martha's first husband. She was in charge of his estate. Neither she nor George had a legal right to free them under 18th century law.

These evils still impact black people today racism exists and most of the liberties you're talking about are harder for the minority like immigrants, black folks, etc. Besides focusing on the past might help us improve in the future. so chill a bit @@classicG342

It was a working plantation. He developed the mule. And worked with plants.

He got lucky. As with everything❤

What a wonderful surprise. I've been there quite a few times and would like to get back,always one of my favorite places.

@@Jayo26200 years ago mate. It’s stale

I think it’s disgusting that your ancestor was a slave owner. You shouldn’t be proud of that 😢

Lafayette was a murderer and an abhorrent human being who slaughtered thousands. Your cherry happy post of a slave owner and a murderer is patently offensive and immoral and a prime example of why American history in us public schools is a white wash and an absolute disgrace.

?

slow day in hell I guess.....

@@glennstockley2197 God Bless George Washington glenn stockley. He's the father of our country and an amazing man. You got your panties in a twist. Go cry in your oatmeal.

​@@glennstockley2197take a nap, You old sap. We're daring to have fun, go take your miserable presence somewhere else😂

And "mary-land" for MD. That's how they pronounce in the UK, too.

Built off slave labor and human torturing of over 250 enslaved Americans. This is a disgusting display of white historian narrative how dare you !
