Which of George Washington's plantations faced near-destruction by the British?
Correct Incorrect Mount Vernon - Situated along the Potomac River near Washington's estate at Mount Vernon, the British issued a demand for "a large supply of provisions" from the estate. Washington's cousin and estate manager, Lund, complied with their request. Washington, however, expressed his distress, writing,“It would have been a less painful circumstance to me, to have heard, that in consequence of your non-compliance with [the HMS Savage’s request], they had burnt my House, and laid the Plantation in ruins.”
