Talk:American Medical Biographies/Aspinwall, William
Add topic"Gilbert Stuart painted his portrait, which was in the possession of his son-in-law, Lewis Tappan, a noted New York abolitionist, at the time when antislavery rioters broke into his home. The portrait so much resembled George Washington that the mob, thinking it a picture of the father of his country, spared it."
This is a great story, except for the fact that they weren't "antislavery rioters" -- they were white people outraged by Lewis Tappan's, William Lloyd Garrison's, and Simeon Jocelyn's proposal to establish an African-American college in New Haven.
