Right. You know where else they were never denied the vote? Imperial Russia. It's easy not to deny something to Blacks when you have none or very few of them around.

The logic is, these men were not exactly nice people.
Doesn't make them bad people though.

You took their land, gave them diseases, then burned their remaining villages, man woman and child.
They killed a bunch of us as well. Either way, most of that was done after Washington's death.


Not at all, the point is that Washington failed to secure a regular commission but other American Colonists did succeed before and during the revolution. We were talking about megalomania before.
My point is that a colonial Officer of one rank was not equal to the Regular officer of the same rank.
