Please Boycott and do not use the $1, $20, $50 and $100 dollar bills, as
they depict slave owners on them.

Please send all of them that you have to me, and I will see to it that
they are properly disposed of. Thank you very much

Not exactly true but a good joke. (Grant on the 50 and Franklin on the
100) You also missed Jefferson on the deuce.

"The last president who ever owned slaves was, ironically, Ulysses S. Grant, elected in 1868 after
he had commanded Union forces to victory over the Confederacy in the war that led to the abolition
of slavery. Grant owned a slave named William Jones, whom he freed in 1859. Between 1854 and 1859
Grant worked and lived on an 850-acre farm in Missouri, near St. Louis, that was owned by his
father-in-law. Grant’s wife, Julia, also owned slaves, and during Grant’s management of the farm he
worked along with one of them, a man named Dan. The farm is now the Ulysses S. Grant National
Historic Site, part of the National Park Service."

" Franklin owned as many as seven slaves, two males who worked in his household and his shop.
Franklin posted paid ads for the sale of slaves and for the capture of runaway slaves and allowed
the sale of slaves in his general store. Franklin profited from both the international and domestic
slave trade, even criticizing slaves who had run off to join the British Army during the colonial
wars of the 1740s and 1750s."

I stand corrected. It was all of them.
