I think Washington and Jefferson were great thinkers and political leaders that served their country.
They were also slaveowners and their slave owning history is not hidden, it is a great educational part of their house museums in Monticello and Mount Vernon. It can and should never be separated from all the good that they did for this country and their words shaped the Constitution and the system of government we have. There words and beliefs were spot on, they just really did not practice what they preached and itr is no longer gloosed over or white washed. Again just go to their house museums.
They certainly hold a different place in American history than a Confederate general who took up arms against his own country to defend his right to own slaves and started a rebellion. They deserve a spot in the museums but not a glorified place of honor.
