Not only was Washington a slave owner but there are CSA graves at Mt. Vernon and one of his wife's kids married Lee. Also Washington frequently visited the Lee home when Lee was a child. There are also CSA graves at Jefferson's home. So they all are out. If you really want to understand the civil war/war between the states then study the life of RF Lee not the life of Abe, visit his home over looking the capital (Arlington National Cemetery).

Your hate Dead Whitey Washington diatribe left out that he freed his slaves at death.

there are CSA graves at Mt. Vernon...

First of all, there are no graves at Mount Vernon that I know of. There is a family tomb in which various members of the Washington and Custis families are entombed. If you are referring to Confederate aide-de-camp John Augustine Washington III, the last private owner of the estate, and the one who sold it to the Mount Vernon Ladies' Association in the 1850s, he is neither buried nor interred there. He was killed in action at Cheat Mountain, [West] Virginia on September 17, 1862, and is buried in Charleston, WV. The obelisk in front of the family tomb bearing his name is simply a monument to him and does not indicate his reposing on the Mount Vernon grounds.

...and one of his wife's kids married Lee.

No, Martha Washington's grandson, George Washington Parke Custis, married Mary Lee Fitzhugh, and of course are the parents of Mary Anna Randolph Custis, the eventual wife of Robert E. Lee.
