This is an excellent argument for white enslavement since, as the poster 
says, George Washington's slaves lived better than the surrounding free 
population.  If material quality of life is important for 18th century 
blacks than it should be even more important for 18th century whites, since 
it was whites and not blacks who emigrated for reasons of material 
considerations.
