The biggest misconception about George Washington is that he had wooden teeth, and this is one of the myths that Children still repeat today.

George Washington suffered from horrible dental disease for many, many years.

He's getting teeth pulled by the revolution.

They were made of human teeth, some of his own.

Cows were used, their teeth were filed down.

We also know that those dentures were made from the teeth of enslaved people.

He actually paid money to have healthy teeth removed from enslave people.

To extract teeth from someone without anesthetic was traumatic.

This is somebody that the wealthy elite could.

That says a lot about power, A lot of control on a lot about the elite nature of owning and slave people and doing what you want to their bodies.

Slavery for him, wa central in terms of one status.

But it was also crucial to financial success.

It was no good unless you had enslaved people toe work the land.

If you wanted to be what they would have called a Virginia gentleman, Our founding fathers who were fighting for liberty and independence and justice denied that, too, a whole race of people.

In his will, he frees his slaves upon the death of his wife.

Now you can say he doesn't free him his own life, But he's the only member of the Virginia dynasty to do this.

We just have to understand him as a complicated person who was flawed and who made decisions sometimes on behalf of the nation and sometimes on behalf of himself.

And that, to me, does not diminish him as a president or a leader.

 It just helps us have a more complicated and accurate interpretation of our first president.
