Washington’s Younger YearsGeorge Washington was born in Virginia on February 22, 1732. When his father died, George moved to Mount Vernon with his half-brother, Lawrence. At Mount Vernon, Washington became a great horseman and was very interested in surveying land. He gained a lot of experience by surveying 5 million acres of land for Lord Fairfax. To try to follow in the footsteps of Lawrence, Washington decided to join British General Braddock on his journey to capture Fort Duquesne. Washington tried to convince the General that the French and Indians didn’t fight European style, but General Braddock didn’t listen and this caused many deaths on the British side during a battle.

Washington’s Later Life
After his time as president, Washington returned home to his plantation. At Mount Vernon, Washington happily welcomed any guests. When there was trouble brewing, Washington helped organize the structure of the United States military. This job included designing the uniforms. George Washington died on December 14, 1799 at the age of 67. In his will, Washington freed all of the slaves that were in his possession.

Washington During the Revolution
George Washington was the hero of the American Revolution. He started off by silently protesting British taxes, but soon became the general of the Continental Army. Three major victories that Washington participated in saved the war for the colonists.

Silent Protest to the Stamp Act
When British Parliament passed the Stamp Act in 1765, Washington realized that the British wouldn’t stop trying to get money through taxes. To protest this, he gave up the tobacco business and became self-sufficient. He raised cows, pigs, and sheep, which provided enough food and cloth for him and his family. In addition, Washington grew wheat, which he ground to make flour and occasionally sold to make some profit.

Capturing Boston
As a reaction to the Boston Tea Party, the British Army was sent to Boston to help neutralize the patriots. When Washington became the General of the Continental Army, this was his first goal. It took several months of planning, but eventually Washington acquired artillery and brought 5,200 men up to Dorchester Heights in a single night. Being that the British couldn’t angle their guns properly, they left the city without Washington needing to fire a single shot.

The Battle of Trenton
On the night of Christmas Eve, Washington and his troops crossed the Delaware River and set off for Trenton under the cover of darkness. Before beginning the journey, Washington had his officers read a writing from Thomas Paine to every one of the soldiers for inspiration. Washington attacked Trenton when all of the enemies were sleeping. A total of 30 Hessians were killed before the remaining 900 surrendered and became prisoners. There was not a single colonist lost in the battle. This single battle saved the American Revolution.

The Battle of Yorktown
The Battle of Yorktown was a cooperative effort from the French and the colonists to crush General Cornwallis’s forces. After marching for a long way, 14,000 French and colonial troops surrounded 8,000 British troops. After attacking the British fort, General Cornwallis had no choice, but to surrender. This surrender brought an end to the American Revolution.

Washington as President

1st Term of Presidency
At his inauguration, Washington insisted upon being called “Mr. President” instead of other terms that heavily suggested a monarchy. When European countries wanted to involve the United States in their wars, Washington stayed out to protect the young country. While in office, Washington traveled throughout America to make sure that he was providing for everyone. In 1791, Washington created the first Bank of the United States. Also, he helped decide on the permanent capital of the country, Washington DC.

2nd Term of PresidencyDuring Washington’s second term as president, the two opposing parties constantly differed more and more in opinion. Washington never stopped trying to bridge this gap and keep both groups happy. When there were problems between Britain and France, Washington managed to maintain his neutrality and keep the country out of any wars. When it came time for Washington to leave office, he gave his farewell address in the newspapers. In this address he made sure to advise the country to stay united on major issues and to avoid becoming involved with other country’s problems.
