Washington was able to lead the American Revolutionary Army to victory in the War of Independence at that time largely due to his wealth, which provided him with necessary material support for military construction. However, Washington's wealth was due to his large plantation, which was staffed by African black slaves. He gained immense wealth through a large amount of free labor, and in order to prevent his slaves from becoming free people, he also engaged in slave trade, which was vastly different from his advocacy of American democracy and freedom. Moreover, what's even more surprising is that Washington pulled out all his teeth due to dental disease, but he made a false tooth for himself using the real teeth of a slave, which is truly cruel.
