George Taylor (signer) as slaveholder
Thank you for adding that George Taylor was among the many signers of the Declaration of Indpendence who owned slaves. This should have been included long ago. However, the source you used, Frank Whelan's 1984 article in the Morning Call, does not address slavery. I'm certain I can find reliable sources to support the fact that Taylor was a slaveholder. However, it might be more difficult to locate one for the total number of signers who were as mentioned, 41 of 56. Allreet (talk) 02:25, 28 February 2024 (UTC)
February 2024
Hello, I'm Sumanuil. I noticed that you recently made an edit to St. Andrew's School, Bloemfontein in which your edit summary did not appear to describe the change you made. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Misplaced Pages with an accurate edit summary. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. - Sumanuil. (talk to me) 02:22, 1 March 2024 (UTC)
