No because Washington didn't use the revolutionary war to enact slavery.

He had slaves. And that was racist regardless of his opinion on the matter. He explicitly called for the genocide of natives.

You are definitely going to need a source for that claim.

I must have missed where in all those sources Washington "explicitly called for the genocide of natives."

[-] PizzaMan@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago

Try reading some of these things then.

What things? None of your references have Washington explicitly calling for genocide. The only ones that do mention the word genocide are opinion pieces and don't have any references of Washington calling for genocide.
