Washington at the Plow
801 Kč 840 Kč
George Washington spent most of his time farming, often employing experimental methods. Washington saw slave-powered scientific agriculture as the key to the nation\'s prosperity. Bruce Ragsdale argues that it was slave labor\'s inefficiency as much as its inhumanity that finally convinced Washington to emancipate the men and women bonded to him.
