George Washington And The Era Of The American Revolution

How did George Washington turn a rag-tag group of men into a disciplined fighting machine?

George was born in England not Germany. His father was Fredrick, the king of Wales, and His mother was Augusta of Saxe Gotha. George's father died in 1751 when he was 12 years old and he became king of Wales at the age of 12. George became king of  Great Britain and Ireland in 1760  George was leader during the American revolution. As well as the Battle of Lexington and Concord and a year later the Declaration of Independence. In 1778 George III went into a month-long period of violent insanity. He had to wear a straightjacket and suffered various treatments. On January 29, 1820 George died blind, deaf and mad at the world.

George Washington is often noted for his accomplishments as both the first President of the United States and for his bravery during the French Revolution, but his seemingly unpopular actions displayed true integrity and will to do what is best for his country. He placed the well-being of the United States before his personal beliefs. Although opponents will often disagree, President Washington’s decision to ratify Jay’s Treaty in 1795 provided the United States with a necessary alliance that ultimately neutralized future relations with Great Britain and set the precedent for executive power.

If it had not been for George Washington, Great Britain might’ve won the revolutionary war, and the United States of America as we know it would not exist. George Washington is an influential person because of his unbelievable life story, his leadership in the development of the country, his 8 years of presidency, and his leadership during the revolutionary war.

George Washington is a towering historical figure who is considered the father of the United States. James Thomas Flexner captures the man, not the myth, behind this legendary icon in one concise single-volume biography, Washington: the Indispensable Man. This book is a condensed but altogether new version of Flexner’s previous four-volume biography of George Washington. This smaller scale book is well written, and explores Washington as “the human being behind the legendary icon” (New York Times Book Review) to bring the reader to a closer relation to a man removed by time and history.

The revolutionary era is generally defined by particular events and results being ignited from discontent that involved governed individuals from the states. Amongst all these outcomes, the founding fathers intended the greater good for the future and conformed to change in the political, social and economic order of society. The old form of government that the states were used to being governed was overthrown and the new birth of democracy was formed. Nevertheless, no true variance was made clear in the fiscal trend of development, and the tiers of society remained all but untouched following the Revolution. The Federalist party, spearheaded by none other than James Madison, were as a whole in favor of a first ever developed draft of the

Virginian, patriot, general, and president. Lived at Mount Vernon. Led the Revolutionary Army in the fight for independence. First President of the United States.

1776 was an important year of the Revolutionary War. The war does not end until The Treaty of Paris in 1783, but George Washington had a numerous amount of losses and retreats, as well as victories against Cornwallis and Rall. 1776 by David McCullough is not like any of the history books we read today and so on, but solely based on Washington himself.

The revolutionary war was a one of the most successful rebellions this world has ever seen. There are great people that have fought in the war and a lot of them I would love to have a chance to sit down and talk to them. If I only had the chance to talk to one of them it would be George Washington. George Washington did a whole lot with a whole little. The way he led the troops that he had (which were mostly farmers and lawyers) to a victory against the best military power at the time. He has to be a very smart man because every other president has to follow in the footsteps he has put out for them. There are many topics that we can talk about including is war stories and I’m sure he has plenty of them. I would also ask the duties he had to

“It is far better to be alone, than to be in bad company.” That quote was said by one of the best and the first president of the United States Of America, George Washington.

In today’s military we think of tactics and strategy in quite a different manner than in the time of Washington. During his time strategy and tactics were not known by the name in fact the term did not even exist, but they were know by thoughts, processes, and rules that were passed down through generations in which leadership waged war. “Until the nineteenth century, war was the sport of kings, and strategy the rules of the game.” (Palmer, 2012, p.3) As we look into the era of George Washington we can see three general aspects of warfare that were used. The first being tactics which we can describe as being the “theory of the use of military forces in combat” (Palmer, 2012, p. 6) or generally speaking how we fight our enemy. This how we fight aspect goes into the basic make up and use of forces, such as we are going to use our light infantry to suppress the forward progress of our enemy while our cavalry uses there speed advantage to flank around the enemy and begin an aggressive assault. Another war aspect we see in this time period is strategy. Strategy is very similar to tactics but it instead looks more into where and whether we should fight to gain a victory (Palmer, 2012, p. 6-7). The aspect of strategy also looks into numbers, in which we can say we are going up against a force that is estimated to be in the range of seven thousand militia and two thousand cavalry units, because of this we should attack them further back into the wood line where we have the greater

Around the turn of the 18th century, the American Revolution, or the American War of Independence, was actually the root of inspiration for the French and Haitian revolutions. When the deadly Seven Years War ended in 1763, Britain sent troops to the Thirteen American colonies and tried to impose several taxations on them in order to pay the war debts. The British government passed different types of Acts such as the Stamp Act, the Currency Act, and the Tea Act, making the colonists angry because they were being taxed continuously without having direct representations in the Parliament. Likewise, since there was a social inequality, the tensions between the two nations grew higher over time which caused a revolt to break out. In 1776, Thomas

Washington was born in February 1732 on tobacco plantation. He had 4 other siblings, but Washington was the first. He grew up near the Rappahannock river, Virginia, in a household with more than 10 beds. George was smart as a child who loved to study, read, and work. As a child he received 50 acres of land and 10 slaves to go with it. At around 14 Washington started to study military subjects and wished to be some sort of solider for the British. He tried to to ever lie as he said to his parents he wouldn't. He thought he would be a great leader for war... And he ended up being one of the greatest.

The subject of this paper relates to operative and speculative masonry, and in order to look into this subject it was necessary to search about the origins of freemasonry. It’s being said that Masonry originated in the East, perhaps China or Egypt, and travelled across Asia, Constantinople, Greece and Cyprus to Rome, but definitely no one can ascertain how or when the Masonic Fraternity was formed. Some sources placed the official birth of Freemasonry at 1717. However in 1440 Sir William St Clair built the Rosslyn Chapel in Scotland, which was a direct descent of William de St Clair Last Temple Grand Master of Scotland. A widely accepted theory among Masonic scholars is that it arose from the stonemasons' guilds during the Middle Ages, and

The origin and history of the fraternal organization known as Freemasonry has been argued by Masonic historians for hundreds of years. Some argue Freemasonry emerged from groups of traveling stonemasons, while others reckon Freemasonry originated and evolved from the Knights Templar who resurfaced as Freemasons after being persecuted throughout Europe. Additionally, some historians derive the origin of Freemasonry from the mysterious order of the Rosicrucian Brotherhood, a secret brotherhood that supposedly existed in Europe in the early 1600’s that claimed to preserve the information of the past. Each of these theories provides evidence as to how Freemasonry originated, however, the evidence has yet
