This one is funny .... never thought about the "Chiefs" before and didn't consider the profits in rebranding. Complicated subject
Turns out that the abolitionist, Alexander Hamilton, had a sister in Georgia who died with a manservant. The manservant packed all her stuff and came up to Boston whereby Hamilton "freed" him and funded him to open a cobbler shop where the man prospered and lived. However, technically, Hamilton owned a "slave" for the ten days it took the man to travel up to Boston (as he had inherited his sister's property). I heard a called on local radio call for Hamilton to come off the ten? Hmmmm.
Eli Yale of Yale University (slave trader)? Washington, Jefferson, the list is long.
