(Dr William Thornton arrived some hours after Washington died.). ; . In 2012 Washington's annual murder count had dropped to 88 the lowest total since 1961 the murder rate has since risen from that historic low though it remains close to half the rate of the early 2000s. Washington was once described as the "murder capital" of the United States during the early 1990s the number of murders peaked in 1991 at 479 but the level of violence then began to decline significantly, Northeastern Mexico Washington was born into a world that largely used slavery and accepted the practice without question. He owned and worked African slaves throughout his adult life the socio-economic life of colonial Virginia largely depended on slave labor while Washington initially held no moral opposition towards the institution and viewed slave workers as human property. However during Washington's day many patriots recognized the gap between the ideals of liberty and slavery as expressed by his close friends Lafayette and Hamilton leading to his apparent and gradual disapproval of the institution beginning in the American Revolution Washington inherited Mount Vernon a "substantial agriculture estate" that consisted of five farms. He also inherited his first 10 to 12 slaves from his father and later obtained them from various family members and by marriage. Washington while president publicly kept silent on slavery believing that it was a nationally divisive issue that could destroy the union. His views on slavery were private complex and gradually evolved. . . The South developed an agricultural economy dependent on commodity crops Its planters rapidly acquired a significantly higher number and proportion of slaves in the population overall as its commodity crops were labor-intensive. Early on enslaved people in the South worked primarily on farms and plantations growing indigo rice and tobacco; cotton did not become a major crop until after the American Revolution and after the 1790s Before then long-staple cotton was cultivated primarily on the Sea Islands of Georgia and South Carolina.

The invention of the cotton gin in 1793 enabled the cultivation of short-staple cotton in a wide variety of mainland areas leading to the development of large areas of the Deep South as cotton country in the 19th century Rice cultivation and tobacco were very labor-intensive in 1720 about 65% of South Carolina's population was enslaved. Planters (defined by historians in the Upper South as those who held 20 enslaved people or more) used enslaved workers to cultivate commodity crops They also worked in the artisanal trades on large plantations and in many southern port cities Backwoods subsistence farmers the later wave of settlers in the 18th century who settled along the Appalachian Mountains and backcountry seldom held enslaved people. Threats and violence against tax collectors however escalated into defiance against federal authority in 1794 and gave rise to the Whiskey Rebellion Washington issued a final proclamation on September 25 threatening the use of military force to no avail the federal army was not up to the task so Washington invoked the Militia Act of 1792 to summon state militias. Governors sent troops initially commanded by Washington who gave the command to Light-Horse Harry Lee to lead them into the rebellious districts They took 150 prisoners and the remaining rebels dispersed without further fighting Two of the prisoners were condemned to death but Washington exercised his Constitutional authority for the first time and granted them both pardons.
