Comment on Old fashioned
You are definitely going to need a source for that claim.
Cultural genocide:
Land theft:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northwest_Indian_War
…wustl.edu/…/george-washingtons-dishonorable-rela…
The natives quite literally called him “Town Destroyer” because he burned their homes, land, crops, and kidnapped any native around:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Town_Destroyer
frieze.com/…/george-washington-town-destroyer
usnews.com/…/town-destroyer-versus-the-iroquois-i…
I must have missed where in all those sources Washington “explicitly called for the genocide of natives.”
Try reading some of these things then.
What things? None of your references have Washington explicitly calling for genocide. The only ones that do mention the word genocide are opinion pieces and don’t have any references of Washington calling for genocide.
