Talk:Martha Washington/Comments

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In the section "Martha Washington and slavery" the last sentence reads: "she whipped her slaves and was so mean that she killed the ones who didn't do it right"

The sentence doesn't make much sense in the context of the section; is it a rogue insertion?

On using a modern Virginia state flag by Martha's birth information: I'm not sure what the policy in the matter might be, but while the Virginia state seal was adopted in 1776 and therefore dates to Martha's lifetime, the first official Virginia flag was adopted in 1861.
