“The best of men are men at best.”:

Note the excerpt from this article:

“As he tended to his extensive property over the next 30 years, Charles became an enduring symbol of the founding generation as he discerned troubling political trends for his country.

While owning many slaves himself, he saw the institution as “a great evil” and introduced failed legislation to gradually abolish it in Maryland.”
