Your George Washington poem is excellent. When I read Never Caught, I found out that Martha treated enslaved people even worse.

Never Caught is the story of Ona Judge, who ran away from the Washington household when they were in Philadelphia. She settled in New Hampshire. The Washingtons sent slave catchers after Judge multiple times, but her neighbors helped her evade them.
