George Washington's Thoughts On Our First President

Did you know George Washington was well known for his dancing skills? What are your thoughts on our first president? How much do you know about him? I’ll be going over his beginning life, some of his accomplishments, his failures, and finally his death. “George Washington was born at Bridges Creek (later known as Wakefield) in Westmoreland County, Virginia, on February 22, 1732. His father died when he was eleven years old, and the boy spent the next few years living in different households throughout Virginia. He lived with his mother near Fredericksburg, with relatives in Westmoreland, and with his half brother in Mount Vernon.” Hardly anything is illustrious about Washington’s childhood. “In 1748, at the age of sixteen, he surveyed the Shenandoah Valley region and then went on to join the Virginia Forces.” Washington was scarcely out of his teens when he enrolled in the army, and was appointed to evaluate the Strategy that the French formed to seize the Ohio River Valley. George Washington was declared the president and led the United States from April 30, 1789 to march 4, 1797. He was referred as “the Father of the Nation and the Founder of American democracy.”
In 1744 George Washington was delegated “lieutenant colonel for the mission to Fort Duquesne against the French.” He lucratively invaded the French camp adjoining Jumanville.
“He built a Fort named 'Necessity' on the Ohio River,” to cease the French from trespassing further into the area. However, the poorly assembled and wrongfully placed fort was captured by the French army, “and Washington was asked to surrender.” Therefore it can be said that the conclusion of the mission was not in favor of Washington and his troops. Nevertheless “his role in the expedition was an exhibit of excellent leadership skills and
courage.” “On June 19, 1775, George Washington was commissioned as the general and commander-in-chief of the Continental Army.” In 1783, he willingly resigned from the post. People desired him as a king. However “his dream was of a free, democratic country.” Remarkably he declined the offer to be king. Three tremendous errors he made are: “First he Emphasized ‘rights’ instead of duties. Then he took up arms to abolish the government. Lastly he replaced the government he abolished with a new one.” George Washington died 1799, Mountvermon. He was believed to have had strep throat. Unfortunately at that time in history there were no antibiotics, “and the Germ Theory of Disease was almost a century away. What doctors did was bleed a patient, under the odd theory that the "bad" blood would leave, and the "good" blood would remain. He did not respond to the first bleeding,” So they repeated it over and over. “Eventually he was too weak to go on. He was 67 when he died. His doctors killed him. It would be a century before doctors did more good than harm.” Wow death by doctor’s lack of knowledge. Washington lived a full life. He is well known till this day. That has to say an abundance of things right there. Plus there was an enormous amount of rumors about him. Well, this was his begging of his life, parts of his mid-life, and the very end of it.
