Edits by 71.0.89.28

From the recent sequence of edits, it appears you wish to blame President and Mrs. Washington for the entire institution of chattel slavery in the United States. Keep in mind that these were people of their time, and place, and that slavery was an accepted institution. A neutral point of view is required on all Wikipedia articles. Words implying strong emotion or culpabilty are not appropriate. Historical views on these issues vary -- and while all are welcome to be presented, it is appropriate to identify those historians, documentation and opinions which are in the minority or questioned by their peers. So, if you continue to make edits which reflect a strong POV, you will continue to be reverted or your edits will be altered to remove the POV. This is Wikipedia policy. If you would like to discuss your opinion, your point of view, or the point of view of your sources, this discussion page is the place. Please make comments there before you edit the article again. Thank you. WBardwin 07:46, 26 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

What information do you have that Martha managed the Custis Estate after her marriage to GW? His letters show that he dealt with the overseers on the Custis properties.
