My theory is because I went to school at the time in a red state and saying anything that shed George Washington in a bad light was forbidden.And why weren't you taught that?
I have a better theory.
You weren't taught it because it is a fabrication of your owe demented mind.
You weren't taught it because it is a lie you invented.

You'll have to pardon Deany Baby...he's a rascist reactionary dumbass.
You're a piece of shit.You earned the neg.My theory is because I went to school at the time in a red state and saying anything that shed George Washington in a bad light was forbidden.And why weren't you taught that?What we weren't taught is that George Washington eventually mandated that no more blacks could enlist because too many people were worried that if they had guns they'd have an uprising against their masters.
Revolutionary leaders began to be fearful of using African Americans in the armed forces. They were afraid that slaves who were armed would uprise against them. Slave owners became concerned that military service would eventually free their slaves.
In May 1775, the Massachusetts Committee of Safety, stopped the enlistment of slaves in the armies of the colony. This action was adopted by the Continental Congress when they took over the Patriot Army. George Washington in July 1775 issued an order to recruiters, ordering them not to enroll "any deserter from the Ministerial army, nor any stroller, negro or vagabond".[10]
This order did not apply to blacks already serving in the army. In September 1775, the southern delegates moved that Washington should discharge all blacks, free or slaves. The northern delegates were aware of how brave the African Americans had been in the Massachusetts battles and opposed the notion. The blacks that were already in the army were then allowed to finish out their enlistments.
In October 1775, Washington announced that all blacks, both free and slave would be "rejected altogether." In November he said that "Neither Negroes, boys unable to bear arms, nor old men unfit to endure the fatigues of the campaign, are to be enlisted."[11] Most African Americans were integrated into existing military units, but some segregated units were formed, such as the Bucks of America.

[SIZE=+2]By September 1773, the first of Virginia's 250,000 slaves were also trying to get "out of the Colony, particularly to Britain" - so noted John Austin Finnie's advertisement for runaways Bacchus and Amy - "where they imagine they will be free." The king was on their side - or so slaves thought - and against their masters, who feared a British-instigated slave revolt. Following the discovery in November 1774 of slaves conspiring to desert "when the English troops should arrive," James Madison wrote to William Bradford of his conviction that "If america & Britain come to an hostile rupture I am afraid an Insurrection among the slaves may & will be promoted" in an attempt to preserve Virginia for the crown of King George III.

Yes, he did eventually change his mind...because he needed the help.

Back on topic..... I really enjoyed that broadcast.
Some of it I knew, and most of it I did'nt.
