Deborah Harkness
“God didn't give the General sons of his own. I reckon that's why He gave Washington an army - so that he could be father to us all.”
Deborah Harkness, Time's Convert

“For George Washington, the very act he signed into being haunted him until death. Ona Judge, a twenty-two-year-old enslaved woman, owned by Washington, ran away from his household in the summer of 1793, when Washington signed the nation's most powerful Fugitive Slave Act. Washington immediately placed an ad for her recapture, and insinuated in the ad that he did not know what provocation caused Judge to run away. He seemed to not imagine that a human being held in lifelong bondage might desire freedom, especially from his plantation. Ona Judge remained in the free state of New Hampshire as a fugitive from slavery until her death in 1848.”
Deirdre Cooper Owens, Four Hundred Souls: A Community History of African America, 1619-2019
