This documentary was very interesting & highly insightful. I decided to watch it as I am studying a history course at college & the current unit is on The Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade. My tutor had told the class how hypocritical people like Washington & Jefferson were for professing equality for all men but owning slaves & I wanted to find out more. It is so much more complicated than that. Most of the founding fathers of America did own slaves but they had grown up with them, it was simply a part of life. However, as time passed a lot of these men realised how horrid slavery was & although they did not abolish slavery I now believe that if they had not fought for independence & written the constitution then, that slavery would not have been abolished in America when it was.
