Negro slavery had already been established by the Southern states before the nation was

 

even founded. In fact, the question of whether slaves were people or property was

 

the most intractable problem at the constitutional convention in Philadelphia.

 

Which U.S. Presidents Owned Slaves?

 

By Rob Lopresti; Edited by Rudolph Lewis

 

 

Of the first five presidents, four owned slaves [Washington, Jefferson, Madison, and Monroe]. All four of these owned slaves while they were president. [The exception was John Adams]

 

Of the next five presidents (#6-10), four owned slaves. Only two of them owned slaves while they were president [Andrew Jackson and John Tyler]

 

Of the next five presidents (#11-15), two owned slaves. Both of these two owned slaves while they were president. [James K. Polk and Zachary Taylor]

 

Of the next three presidents (#16-18) two owned slaves. Neither of them owned slaves while serving as president. [Andrew Johnson and Ulysses S. Grant]

 

The last president to own slaves while in office was the twelfth president, Zachary Taylor (1849-1850).

 

The last president to own slaves at all was the eighteenth president, Ulysses S. Grant (1869-1877).

 

So twelve of our presidents owned slaves and eight of them owned slaves while serving as president.

  1. George Washington [February 22, 1732 – December 14, 1799]

 

1789-1797 Virginia

 

When George Washington took over Mount Vernon at age 22 there were 18 slaves. When he married he gained control of 200 more which technically belonged to the estate of his wife’s first husband. By 1786 he owned 216 slaves. (Flexner, James Thomas. George Washington: Anguish and Farewell. Boston: Little, Brown,1969, p.114)

 

While GW was serving as president in Philadelphia a Pennsylvania law was passed freeing slaves whose owners had been citizens of the state for six months. GW sent his two most valuable slaves home, telling them it was for his wife’s convenience.(Wilkins, Roger. Jefferson’s Pillow: The Founding Fathers and the Dilemma of Black Patriotism. New York: Beacon Press, 2001, p.76)
