Correct Incorrect Mount Vernon: During the American Revolutionary War, British forces anchored on the Potomac River near Mount Vernon, the plantation of George Washington. The British requested that a large supply of provisions be delivered by the estate, and the estate manager, who was also Washington's cousin, agreed to their demand. Washington was dismayed upon learning about this and stated that he would have preferred to hear that the British had burned down his house and destroyed the plantation, rather than his cousin complying with their request.
