- giraffe_lady 3y agoGood thing he was the only one involved I guess.
- Izkata 3y agoLooks like he wasn't openly anti-slavery until the late 1780s, and he did own slaves before the 1780s, so he might still have had some in the 1780s. https://benjaminfranklinhouse.org/education/benjamin-franklin-and-slavery/ https://benjaminfranklinhouse.org/education/benjamin-frankli...
