George Washington‚ the General‚ savior of The Revolutionary War‚ His Excellency‚ and the first president of the United States‚ had many qualities that I personally can not find myself relating to. Besides the basics: the height‚ stern face‚ and strong build‚ I find myself an opposite of Washington for more internal matters.

The first president of the United States of America would be someone else. The effect of one person on history can completely change the history of one nation

Booker T. Washington (1856-1915) was one of the most influential (and controversial) African Americans in history. Raised the son of a slave mother‚ Washington was self-motivated and committed to his own education from a young age. The tumultuous time in America’s history during which he lived afforded him new freedoms that came from Abraham Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation of 1863 and the eventual success of the North in the Civil War.

I think that The March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom had a very big impact on the United States‚ and was very important for African American rights (in the United States). However‚ I didn’t always know that. When I first heard about it‚ I thought that it was some battle from the United States’s Revolutionary War‚ but now I know that it is much more than that. The March on Washington was when people peacefully protested about black rights in the United States. In 1963 African-Americans in

Greatness of George Washington Gordon S. Wood This piece explored avenues related to personal preference and morality; it questioned what a good president meant in the 18th century. I also think this essay is a lot about his character and what made him different than other political powerheads.

Washington Irving is a man who is questioned for being misogynistic or not. I believe Washington Irving wasn’t to be blamed for how the main characters are treated in his stories. I would blame at the time frame Washington Irving was living in. Irving lived from 1783 to 1859; in this timeline‚ women were viewed as caretakers of the family.
