Wasn't there a myth about how Washington had horse teeth in his mouth? There's a great bit my Geoffrey Asmus on that, how he eventually learns it was slave teeth
Yep kinda, the white-washing history myth that most US gradeschoolers get taught is that "george washington had wooden teeth". The reality is that a lot of his teeth were from his slaves.
