Time now for the O'Reilly Update message of the day, the truth about the father of our country, George Washington, and slavery. Recently in Portland, Oregon, one of America's most radical left cities, a statue of George Washington was destroyed by radical leftists. Now, why? The father of our country? won the Revolutionary War. Without George Washington, there would be no America as we know it. Well, the radicals say Washington was a slaveholder, therefore he must be diminished, canceled in the current

terminology. Well, here's the truth. George Washington was an active slaveholder for 56 years, struggling with the institution. However, before he died, Washington freed all of his slaves, the only founding father to do so. Washington became a slaveholder at the age of 11 after his father died. He inherited a 280-acre farm in Fredericksburg, Virginia with 10 slaves. He would purchase 14 more as a young adult. At the time of his death, George Washington's Mount Vernon estate consisted of 317 slaves most from his marriage to Martha, a wealthy widow whose family owned an enormous amount of land and slaves. At least 17 of George Washington's slaves escaped during the American Revolution, fleeing to British forces aboard the HMS Savage,

which was anchored in the Potomac River near Washington's estate. George Washington was a man of his time, obviously taking economic advantage of enslaved blacks. But it apparently bothered him. In 1786, he wrote, quote, I never meant to possess another slave by purchase, it being among my first wishes to see some plan adopted by the legislature, by which slavery in the country may be abolished, by slow, sure, and imperceptible degrees, unquote. He continued in another statement, there is not a man living who wishes more sincerely than I do to see a plan adopted for this abolition of slavery. but there is only one proper and effectual mode by which it can be accomplished, and that is by legislative authority. President Washington, like most white men in American leadership positions,

knew the South would fight to keep slavery and separate from the newly formed nation if abolition came into play. So, the anti-slavery faction in Congress tried to try to be. So, the anti-slavery faction in Congress tried to pass laws first restricting slavery and later trying to abolish it. That, of course, led to the Civil War. Today, the attempt to diminish George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, and others, is really a direct assault on our Constitution by people who despise it. If you can neutralize, if you can banish the framers of the Constitution, then you can say it is a white supremacist document, and that is the goal of all this. I'm Bill O'Reilly, and I approve that message by writing it. For more news analysis,

Now the O'Reilly update brings you something you might not know this past weekend marked the summer solstice in the northern hemisphere, the longest day of the year when the sun reaches its highest position in the sky. Enjoy it as daylight now get shorter and shorter until December 21st. In places like New York City, the solstice means 15 hours of sunshine between 5 a.m. and 8.30 p.m. In some spots around the globe, it means permanent daylight. Head on over to Hammerfest, Norway, to witness the

midnight sun. The locals don't see dark between May and July. The golf course is there open 24 hours a day for those finding it difficult to get sleep. Residents in Recovic, Iceland, get a short break from the sunshine, just three hours. The saloons stay open until 6 a.m. Bottoms up. Next stop, Helsinki, Finland. June to July, nothing but sunshine. The Finnish solstice is a national holiday. Called mid-summer, folks flee the cities for country cottages, build bonfires, and some even whip themselves with birch while soaking in saunas. Nobody quite can figure that out. North Americans also getting in on the action. U.S. citizens can drive to Canada, to the Yukon, folks up there, having late-night barbecues, fishing competitions between midnight and 3 a.m.

during the summer weekends. Researchers on Russia's Bolshevik Island also get a hefty dose of sunshine. The science station is one of the planet's northernmost outposts. Don't expect a sunbave, however, because the average temperature in Bolshevik is about three degrees all year round. However, an Arctic town in Russia hit 100 degrees recently, the high, highest temperature ever recorded there. And here's something else you might not know. In Fairbanks, Alaska, they celebrate the solstice with America's favorite pastime. Every year, the Alaskan gold panner is the world's northernmost baseball team.
