Does anybody know anything about george washington?

George Washington was known as the “Father of the country” because he was the first president of the U.S.A., and he was first person to appear on postage stamps with him being elected unanimous. He was one of the two presidents who signed the U.S constitution. He was also the greatest president the U.S.A had ever had. He was also the only president inaugurated in two cities: New York and Philadelphia, nut he had to borrow money. “Washington's inauguration speech was 183 words long and took 90 seconds to read. This was because of his false teeth.” He was one of the biggest presidents the U.S.A had because he weighed 200 pounds and he was 6 feet and 2 inches. He was the oldest son of Augustine Washington and Mary Ball Washington, but when his dad died in 1743 he was only eleven, so his half brother Lawrence became apart of the household. George had three hound dogs, so he treated them as his own family. They had weird names their were Tarter, Sweet, and Sweet lips.


George started school when he was six, but ended when he was fifteen. He joined the British Navy and when he turned 15 he became a surveyor because his mother couldn't afford to send him to college and he was a general in the military rank. At the age of 16, in 1748, Washington joined a surveying party sent out to the Shenandoah Valley by Lord Fairfax, a land baron. “He was a distinguished general and commander in chief of the colonial armies in the American Revolution.” He also fought for our freedom. George was oldest brother in his dad’s second marriage. He died when he was 67 because he had a throat infection.


“While he was growing up he learned the morals, manners, and body of knowledge requisite for an 18th century Virginia gentleman.” After a few years he was married to a widow who was rich and her name was Martha Dandridge Cutis. His wife already had two kids and their names were John and Martha. His religion was Episcopalian, so he was baptized on April 5, 1732, and His godfathers were Beverley Whiting and Captain Christopher Brooks. His godmother was Mrs. Mildred Gregory. Also he was a planter, a soldier, and a surveyor. While he was a president he had a vice president, his name was John Adams.





“George Washington led the Continental army to victory over the kingdom of Great Britain in the American Revolutionary war at (1775 – 1783.)” and he was the only president that died in the 1700’s. While he was at war he realized that the best strategy was to harass the British. It looked like he had wooden teeth, but when he was 57 he had toothaches so they he had all his teeth pulled out, from then on he wore ivory false teeth. George Washington owned ten slaves from his father, but when he grew older he freed his slaves because his attitude towards slavery had changed.





George likes to eat ice-cream and fish, that’s why in his spare time he would go fishing, and he liked to go fox hunting. He also had two ice- cream freezers put in his house at Mount Vernon. He like marijuana as his primary crop grown at Mount Vernon, but when he was three his family moved to a tobacco plantation which they called Mount Vernon. He was a very sickly child and not able to help on the plantation so he stayed at the house doing chores and gardening. That is where and why he found his love for plants and gardening. George didn’t live in the White House because it wasn’t build yet when he was a president.








There was a quote that George Washington loved it would say that “I walk on untrodden ground. There is scarcely any part of my conduct which may not hereafter be drawn into precedent."

George Washington (February 22, 1732 – December 14, 1799) was the first President of the United States, (1789–1797), and led the Continental Army to victory over the Kingdom of Great Britain in the American Revolutionary War (1775–1783).





Washington was chosen to be the commander-in-chief of the American revolutionary forces in 1775. The following year, he forced the British out of Boston, lost New York City, and crossed the Delaware River in New Jersey and defeated the surprised enemy units later that year. As a result of his strategy, Revolutionary forces captured the two main British combat armies—Saratoga and Yorktown. Negotiating with Congress, the colonial states, and French allies, he held together a tenuous army and a fragile nation amid the threats of disintegration and failure. Following the end of the war in 1783, Washington retired to his plantation on Mount Vernon.





Unsatisfied with the Articles of Confederation, he presided over the Philadelphia Convention that drafted the United States Constitution in 1787. Washington became President of the United States in 1789 and established many of the customs and usages of the new government's executive department. He sought to create a great nation capable of surviving in a world torn asunder by war between Britain and France. His unilateral Proclamation of Neutrality of 1793 provided a basis for avoiding any involvement in foreign conflicts. He supported plans to build a strong central government by funding the national debt, implementing an effective tax system, and creating a national bank. Washington avoided the temptation of war and began a decade of peace with Britain via the Jay Treaty in 1795; he used his prestige to get it ratified over intense opposition from the Jeffersonians. Although never officially joining the Federalist Party, he supported its programs and was its inspirational leader. Washington's farewell address was a primer on republican virtue and a stern warning against involvement in foreign wars.





Washington is seen as a symbol of the United States and republicanism in practice. His devotion to civic virtue made him an exemplary figure among early American politicians.Washington died in 1799, and in his funeral oration, Henry Lee said that of all Americans, he was "first in war, first in peace, and first in the hearts of his countrymen." Washington has been consistently ranked by scholars as one of the greatest U.S. Presidents.





Early life.......................................





George Washington was born on February 22, 1732 [O.S. February 11, 1731]the first son of Augustine Washington and his second wife, Mary Ball Washington, on the family's Pope's Creek Estate near present-day Colonial Beach in Westmoreland County, Virginia. He was educated in the home by his father and older brother.





In his youth, Washington worked as a surveyor, and acquired what would become invaluable knowledge of the terrain around his native Colony of Virginia. Washington embarked upon a career as a planter and in 1748 was invited to help survey Baron Fairfax's lands west of the Blue Ridge. In 1749, he was appointed to his first public office, surveyor of newly created Culpeper County, and through his half-brother, Lawrence Washington, he became interested in the Ohio Company, which aimed to exploit Western lands. In 1751, George and his half-brother travelled to Barbados, staying at Bush Hill House, hoping for an improvement in Lawrence's tuberculosis. This was the only time George Washington travelled outside what is now the United States. After Lawrence's death in 1752, George inherited part of his estate and took over some of Lawrence's duties as adjutant of the colony.





Washington was appointed a district adjutant general in the Virginia militia in 1752,which made him Major Washington at the age of 20. He was charged with training the militia in the quarter assigned him. At age 21, in Fredericksburg, Washington became a Master Mason in the organization of Freemasons, a fraternal organization that was a lifelong influence.


In December 1753, Washington was asked by Governor Robert Dinwiddie of Virginia to carry a British ultimatum to the French on the Ohio frontier. Washington assessed French military strength and intentions, and delivered the message to the French at Fort Le Boeuf in present day Waterford, Pennsylvania. The message, which went unheeded, called for the French to abandon their development of the Ohio country, setting in motion two colonial powers toward worldwide conflict. Washington's report on the affair was widely read on both sides of the Atlantic.





French and Indian War (Seven Years War)................................





In 1754, Dinwiddie commissioned Washington a lieutenant colonel and ordered him to lead an expedition to Fort Duquesne to drive out the French. With his American Indian allies led by Tanacharison, Washington and his troops ambushed a French scouting party of some 30 men, led by Joseph Coulon de Jumonville. Washington and his troops were overwhelmed at Fort Necessity by a larger and better positioned French and Indian force. The terms of surrender included a statement that Washington had assassinated the scouts and their leader at the Battle of Jumonville Glen. Released by the French, Washington returned to Virginia, where he resigned rather than accept demotion.





In 1755, Washington was an aide to British General Edward Braddock on the ill-fated Monongahela expedition. This was a major effort to retake the Ohio Country. While Braddock was killed and the expedition ended in disaster, Washington distinguished himself as the Hero of the Monongahela.[16] While Washington's role during the battle has been debated, biographer Joseph Ellis asserts that Washington rode back and forth across the battlefield, rallying the remnant of the British and Virginian forces to a retreat. Subsequent to this action, Washington was given a difficult frontier command in the Virginia mountains, and was rewarded by being promoted to colonel and named commander of all Virginia forces.





In 1758, Washington participated as a brigadier general in the Forbes expedition that prompted French evacuation of Fort Duquesne, and British establishment of Pittsburgh.Later that year, Washington resigned from active military service and spent the next sixteen years as a Virginia planter and politician.
