I'm sure it's not all of them, but I toured Jefferson's plantation (Montecello) and most of the tour was discussing his problematic actions, slaves, etc. Definitely paid proper respect.

I remember going to Mt Vernon in like 2003. Even then, they made a big point on how Washington employed slaves, and that was a very bad thing.

I have drawn on the research in the past, but never been myself. That’s great to hear.
