The Founding Father Project : George Washington

George Washington is considered the greatest because he effectively formed the United States of America. He was the first president so the floor was wide open for him to do almost anything. According, to an article it states, “As one scholar has said, he "invented tradition as he went along." His actions, more than those of any other Founding Father, became a part of the "unwritten Constitution” (Stephen Knott, George Washington:Impact and Legacy, Paragraph 3). Washington was

George Washington had enormous amounts of failures, but he had achieved great things as well. From being a young boy living in Pope’s Creek, Virginia to becoming the president of the United States. He has faced a lot of hardships and failures. But through all of his hardships throughout his life he has become the greatest president of the United States, George Washington.

One of the most obvious, and in my opinion, most important factors to Why George Washington is the greatest president of all time, is the fact that he was the very first president ever. With John Adams at his side, George Washington started the country on its way to become the great and wonderful country that we call home today. George Washington is perhaps the single president who can truly call himself a “founding father” of the United States of America. Many people would’ve have looked at the situation and thought that it wasn’t their place to correct a whole country, or much less to lead the country to greatness. It takes great courage to lead an entire country, without anyone to look back on for experience advice or mistakes that have been made. I, myself, couldn’t or wouldn’t have even thought about doing that, I would’ve let someone like George Washington step up to the plate.

George Washington was one of the most skilled, and maybe the best person that could have held the title of founder of the United States of American. He had the capabilities of representing his people on the Continental Congress, the intelligence to flip his misfortunes to his victories on many battles against the British and on his personal life, the generosity of believing in people that were ignored or discriminated by society and more remarkably, the bravery needed to act against the laws and even risk his own life on several occasions for the liberty of his people, among many other aspects that makes him one of the most studied historical characters and sources of inspiration.

George Washington was the first president of the United States and is known as “the Father of Our Country. He was a man with much conviction, humility, and integrity. George Washington trusted in God, was willing to sacrifice much, and he was selfless. All of these qualities were important to his success as a military leader and as the leader of the nation. It is apparent by how revered Washington is today that he was a man of honor.

As many great leaders and founding fathers of our country, George Washington has contributed many actions, and speeches that make our country what it is today. Our country has six founding fathers in total including: John Adams, Benjamin Franklin, Alexander Hamilton, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, and last of all George Washington. I specifically picked George Washington as my essay because, I have never gone in depth about how he has truly contributed to our country and what he has done that changed and transformed our country to where it is now.

George Washington was the best Us President known to man. he was also our first President which everyone knows that. he did so many great things for this country. He basicly built the US an how it is today.

After the war to win the new country's independence from England,and helping set up the new goverment, George Washington wanted to be out of Politics, and be back home where he can retire. Even so, their was a cry through out the land for the commander and to be the leader of the new country. After reciving hundreds of letters pleading him to lead, he finally considered it and allowed his self to be president. Although it was certain Washington was going to be president, the electoral college still did a vote and was offically elected as president and John Admas, second Place, was going to be his vice (Knott).

He was one of the most interesting men of the United States, and that is why he was called the father of the United States. Washington lived and worked with Great thinkers, writers, orators etc. And as well as with many brilliant people, who are maybe better educated than him. The three major in the founding of the nations, the Revolution, the Constitution Convention and the selection of the first president, for all those three position the leader they have chosen was George Washington because of his genius.

George Washington is said to be the "father of the nation" and 'the one who orginiated the concept of a 'citizen president', but he didn't shine a light on the U.S. like how Abraham Lincoln did (Weston 3). Lincoln demonstrated true

George Washington realized the way he handled and approached the job as president would impact how future presidents approached the position because of this he made sure to hand down a legacy of strength, purpose and integrity.

George Washington had many slaves because he had a lot of land and he got his first slaves from his father. George Washington had a mixed opinion on slavery. He had many slaves since he was young. He treated his slaves good. When he died he set his slaves free.

There are many discussions about who the founding fathers of video games are, but in my own opinion the founding father of video games is Physicist Willy Higinbotham. Through him the entire video game basis and industry would of never excited without him.

The reason why I picked Alexander Hamilton is because he was the founding father that set up our economic system when George Washington was president. With my life right now I am very into the economy and the business aspect of our government and our world today. So I feel like Alexander and I would have gotten along very well and talked about what was up with the economy and setting up everything to get our country out of debt and kept out of debt. And Alexander is much known for his battle success with him being a very good leader and fighter in battles. He was known for his winning of battles and wars and he led people to victory. George Washington thought Alexander was a very successful man so he appointed him to Secretary/Treasurer when George was president.A summary of the great founding father Alexander Hamilton is he was born on January 11, 1757 but his exact birth is still unknown. “He was born on the Caribbean island of St. Kitts to his mother Rachel Fawcett and his father James Hamilton.” Alexander first served in the military as an artillery captain but then moved up in ranks because George Washington likes him a lot like I said before, so he got moved up to George Washington’s military aid under his request. He also was a lawyer for many years and solved many cases throughout his day. Alexander spent a long time serving him and fought many battles with him such as the “Battle of Yorktown” and the “Battle of Monmouth”. He left the military after about 10 years of
