Introduction
Greetings I'm George Washington, the first president in the U.S. I was born Febuary 22 1732, in Colonial Beach, Virginia. I married Martha Custis in 1759 and raised two kids named John and Martha. Before the French and Indian war I was a planter, although I signed up for the local mitlitia. I was a major commander for the revolutionary forces and led many battles. After we won the war, the Articles of Confederation were set up, but the country was not a very nice place to live in. Finally, after the Constitution was voted on, I was unwillingly chosen for President, with John Adams as my Vice President. At that time I was leader of the Federalist Party, and my family was Episcopal. I had no formal education; my father and older brothers were my teachers. I served two terms as President of the United States.

It's amazing that George Washington never recieved a formal education. I can't believe that he was able to lead the country to independance and become the first president without an education. As a president after you I'm very happy about how good you did with starting the country.
ReplyDeleteWas the education his brother and father gave him a good one? As the first president and leader of the army in the revolution it must have. George Washington must have been a special person to go from a farmer to being able to lead an entire country to independance from the most powerful military at the time.
