tfw your 3rd grade teacher was a black panther and taught you this when you were 8
Idk how common this knowledge is but he supported the American Colonization Society who were anti-slavery, but still didn’t want black people living amongst whites, so their plan was to ship them off against their wishes
“wooden” was a euphemism of the time meaning “Ill fitting” or “clunky and shoddy”
Were they ill-fitting and shoddy? The dude was like a billionaire by modern standards. I assume he could afford the very best.
One of the very first Dollop episodes was on Washington’s various mouth problems and dentures, its a fascinating/horrifying/hilarious rabbit hole. If it makes you feel any better (or maybe even a touch sympathetic?), his entire mouth was basically constant, painful liquid rot from his like 30s until he died.
Man, this shit is horrifying. Did they like pull teeth from people or take them from the dead?
Of course.
