Always Remember Your First President: George Washington the First United State President

By EDMUND AUSTIN

The first president of the United States, George Washington, is much more than just a carving on Mount Rushmore. Who was the general, president, and husband named Washington? First and foremost, he was a man of unwavering honor who never wavered despite military hardship and political squabbling. Even while the Founding Fathers quarreled and competed amongst themselves, they did agree on one thing: only Washington could lead the nation, first in the military struggle for freedom and then as the person tasked with uniting the thirteen independent states. But when he was younger, George Washington had no intention of leading his nation like its father. He wanted to become a surveyor to support himself as the younger son of a middle-class Virginian, and in that capacity, he first learned about the tremendous possibilities of the future nation. But once his elder brother passed away and left him as the Mount Vernon heir, Washington rose to prominence in Virginia and the United States' military, political, and social spheres.

The Washingtons of Virginia, Europe's Wars in the Colonies, Washington at Mount Vernon, An Englishman No Longer, Washington at War, The Father of His Country, and Return to Mount Vernon are all covered inside.

He fought alongside the British army against the French as a member of the Virginia militia and later as an officer in the conflict between the two European powers over control of the productive Ohio Valley. Washington would subsequently face the British in battle when leading the Continental Army in its war for independence against King George III's forces, having been denied a commission in the British army. He would design the American government as a political figurehead. Washington joined the Virginia aristocracy's elite as the owner of Mount Vernon and the husband of the affluent Martha Dandridge Custis. His moral character established a standard that other generations may follow. Few have been able to equal his accomplishments, which speaks to his influence and personality. Discover the identity of this extraordinary leader by getting to know George Washington, the person.
