Strideo I believe he was a noble and genuine man whose steadfast determination and courage helped to forge and hold together a fledgling nation.

I would be wary of anyone who would attempt to blot out his accomplishments and heroism by pointing out his ownership of slaves. Such is fact and it shows a grave fault in an otherwise great man but if that is how a person would define him then that person is surely single minded and lacking in historical perspective.

Is it so contradictory that I would have affection for both figures such as George Washington and Frederick_Douglass for obviously different reasons?
