- Learn from George Washington about the farming techniques he uses to yield prosperous crops each year and hear from Priscilla, an enslaved farm worker, about a typical workday at Dogue Run Farm.
I am loving these personal tales from this truly excellently presented George Washington. I feel am watching him through his diary and memories.
Very informative. Great job to both of the actors. Thank you.
Washington was truly an entrepreneur of his time!!
George Washington was a man before his time. These videos are well done. It's like we go back in time and actually listen to these people talk .
I love these videos ! Makes me happy to be a Mt. Vernon supporter ! I wish i had these videos when i was in school . I hope there's at least ONE teacher using these videos , today !

Lovely presentation!
George was one of the four FOUNDING GARDENERS who wanted to improve America 's agriculture as being essential to the future of America's independence. Landowners were believed to be more trustworthy than factory workers as voters because Jefferson believed farmers were least likely to change their loyalty from America to Britain..
I must say I love seeing President Washington alive and telling about himself awesome job and also hearing the slaves story's
Yes, but it does also stir a great deal of anger in my soul that makes me wish John Brown might be there to do something about it, or at the very least Abraham Lincoln to debate with Washington over the slaves Washington kept.
Enslaved, not slaves. Washington forcibly enslaved these people and went against Yahweh in doing so, violating their rights. A truly evil man.
And it is spelled "stories."
@@sethjones5250 man time change you don't here about Italians Jews Irish upset about being slaves c'mon man wish wars never started wish we had a perfect world with Palestine got along with Israel Ukraine got along with Russia c'mon man we human not perfect so get over the facts at on time having slaves was acceptable William Ellison did mind owning them
@@nette9836 Literally half the world had slaves at any given time throughout world history. That included native Americans ( who have been heavily romanticized) and prosperous BLACK slave owners. Those two groups supported and fought for the south in the civil war. Africans that were caught by their fellow Africans and left in cages along the shore in the trans Atlantic slave trade went overwhelmingly to the Carribean and South America with Brazil as the biggest beneficiary. If they had not been sent to the Americas then they would have remained as slaves and probably killed in Africa. The first legal slave owner in the colonies was a black man who had been a former slave himself. Despite all this people will cherry pick who in history offends them. So all the bitchen' is saved for people like Washington and other founding fathers. Social trends are a strong thing and "human rights" are more of a modern thing. If YOU had lived during that time and was a wealthy plantation owner YOU would have had slaves. If Washington lived during modern times he would not have owned slaves. See how that works? Modern day slavery is bigger and stronger than at any time in world history yet society as a whole lives quietly and passively right alongside it . Where do you think many of the products you buy come from? You're so typical of a virtue signaler and someone who suffers from presentism meaning you think we're superior from people of the past...we are not.
@@jakedoe1302 their indentured servitude isn't nearly as bad as african slaves.
That’s quite a barn. Never seen one like that before. Can’t imagine having dinner at 2 p.m. and only seeing your husband one day a week.
He's wonderful!
2pm is dinner time? Wow!
Dinner (the main meal of the day) often was mid-day to fuel the hard work. Supper, a lighter meal, was at night. Modern History channel mentions this in talks about rural medieval life. This pattern is still followed on Sundays even in suburbia.

In a previous episode, George gave us a tour of his home in which he pointed out the key to the bastille hanging in his hallway, and yet he is somehow oblivious to the inequity in his own household.
The king of France lost his head for it. It's amazing that the key didn't serve as a warning to the Washingtons that someday there might be a reconning for the evils of slavery.
I think he knew, likely many of the founding fathers knew. I think that a long game viewpoint was behind the Constitution, a system potentially allowing for corrections to society over the long term so as not to create a shock to society which could lead to civil unrest or worse. Sadly, even with that system, it eventually came to war to end slavery. At least slavery in that form, unfortunately it still exists throughout much of the world to this day.
And yet you seem to be oblivious to first expound to everyone the inequities of your own life's practices and all the corners you've cut before thrusting the spotlight of hypocricy against the imperfections of someone wiser than you who lived two and a half centuries prior to yourself...?
I would also recommend you get an education on the french revolution and stop hailing mindless mob violence and lawless beheadings as a virtue, especially against a Civilized Gentleman like George Washington, that is, unlike yourself.
The French peasantry were on equal footing with American farmers. The Bastille was a symbol of the tyranny of the French aristocracy, and the French were inspired by our Revolution when they revolted against their monarchy.
@@glitch1182 did the French peasantry own slaves?
Who names the hourses ???
Love this dude! I'm totally believing he's George. He should have the wooden teeth, for provenance. 😆
He has Oliver Wendell Douglas beat in his farming clothes.
While today's society in overwhelming numbers passively and quietly lives alongside modern day slavery where people are beaten, shackled, raped and killed for the many products they make that you buy. That includes the computer/smartphone you used to make your comment. You're not losing any sleep over it. You would have owned slaves if you were a wealthy plantation owner back then. Literally all of human history there has been slavery. It's been the norm not the exception. Despite that people like you will cherry pick through history on who offends them.
"He has Oliver Wendell Douglas beat in his farming clothes."
Oliver who?
Just kidding, I know about Green Acres, it's on MeTV so I have watched it from time to time.
Someone should call the police. I think this is extremely illegal
