I really don’t know who owned slaves or not. I personally don’t care. I thought this was funny because the level these people take today in broad daylight destroying property ,just because they can and no one cares to stop them but later says charges will be done after the destruction. Regardless who is factually correct on a slave owner or not in the past is irrelevant when you see Adults allowed to destroy statues or monuments.Completely overboard.

You really should do a few minutes of research before you call an historical figure a slave-owner. Franklin lived most of his life in Pennsylvania, not at all known for slave ownership, although I’m sure there were a few. General of the Army Grant commanded the force that defeated the Confederacy. Yes, Washington, Jefferson and Jackson owned slaves.
