Founders’ Quote Daily“[Y]our late purchase of an estate in the colony of Cayenne, with
a view to emancipating the slaves on it, is a generous and noble
proof of your humanity. Would to God a like spirit would diffuse
itself generally into the minds of the people of this country;
but I despair of seeing it.”– George Washington (letter to Marquis de Lafayette, 10 May 1786)
Reference: Washington’s Maxims, 159.
