Read the following paragraph from the section "The White House Was Built By Slave Labor." George Washington's political behavior did not truly reflect his supposed antislavery views. While professing to despise slavery and hope for its eventual end, President Washington took no real steps in that direction. In fact, he did everything he could to ensure that none of the more than 300 people he owned could secure their freedom. During the 10 years of construction of the White House, George Washington spent time in Philadelphia where a law called the Gradual Abolition Act passed in 1780. It stated that any slaves brought into the state were eligible to apply for their freedom if they were there for longer than six months. To get around the law, Washington rotated the people working for him in bondage so that they were there for less than six months each.

Which idea is BEST supported by this paragraph?

A
George Washington eventually freed all of the enslaved people who worked for him in the White House.
B
George Washington was a big supporter of the Gradual Abolition Act and adhered to its rules.
C
George Washington changed his mind about slavery while president and joined the abolitionist cause.
D
George Washington took many actions that contradicted his stated opinions about slavery.
