tardigrade July 25, 2015 Share July 25, 2015 (edited) Late to the discussion - just watching this season. Glad to see Billy Lee get some of the spotlight: his relationship with Washington was unusual. Lee accompanied Washington throughout the Revolution (he's included in at least one portrait of the general), and was the only slave Washington specifically freed. Lee was provided with a pension and a place to live at Mount Vernon in Washington's will. In his biography of GW, Chernow cites some arguments between the two (Lee wanted to go to New York City as butler during Washington's first term, Washington thought the job would be too tough on Lee, who had damaged his knees badly in various accidents), and contemporary rumors that Lee was Washington's son (maybe, maybe not) so the interactions in this episode seemed plausible to me.
