- 11:1311:13, 1 August 2020 diff hist −134 George Washington and slavery Trim excessive detail from the lead - the nuances are covered in the main body, the lead need only summarise the salient points. Per Morgan 2005 p. 417, "Washington insisted on the return of all escaped slaves" - if it's good enough for Professor Morgan it should be good enough for Wikipedia

- 11:0111:01, 1 August 2020 diff hist +10 George Washington and slavery source does not support such a strong term as "recoiled". Morgan writes that GW was "reluctant", and quotes him as saying ""if these poor wretches are to be held in a state of slavery, I do not see that a change of masters will render it more irksome..."

- 14:4714:47, 28 July 2020 diff hist +1 George Washington and slavery No - Washington demanded the return of enslaved people who had escaped to the British in no uncertain terms, and was personally invested in the return of those slaves, as has been discussed on the TP at Talk:George_Washington_and_slavery#Washington_as_enforcer_instead_of_decider
