the startling decision to set his slaves free;
earlier he had said that holding slaves was his
"only unavoidable subject of regret." In this
groundbreaking work, Henry Wiencek explores the
founding father's engagement with slavery at
every stage of his life--as a Virginia planter,
soldier, politician, president and statesman.
