Washington","articleBody":"(1732-1799)Who Was George Washington?George Washington was a Virginia plantation owner who served as a general and commander-in-chief of the colonial armies during the American Revolutionary War, and later became the first president of the United States, serving from 1789 to 1797. Early Life and FamilyWashington was born on February 22, 1732, in Westmoreland County, Virginia. He was the eldest of Augustine and Mary’s six children, all of whom survived into adulthood. The family lived on Pope's Creek in Westmoreland County, Virginia. They were moderately prosperous members of Virginia's \"middling class.\"Washington could trace his family's presence in North America to his great-grandfather, John Washington, who migrated from England to Virginia. The family held some distinction in England and was granted land by Henry VIII. But much of the family’s wealth in England was lost under the Puritan government of Oliver Cromwell. In 1657 Washington’s grandfather, Lawrence Washington, migrated to Virginia. Little information is available about the family in North America until Washington’s father, Augustine, was born in 1694. Augustine Washington was an ambitious man who acquired land and enslaved people, built mills, and grew tobacco. For a time, he had an interest in opening iron mines. He married his first wife, Jane Butler, and they had three children. Jane died in 1729 and Augustine married Mary Ball in 1731. Mount Vernon In 1735, Augustine moved the family up the Potomac River to another Washington family home, Little Hunting Creek Plantation — later renamed Mount Vernon. They moved again in 1738 to Ferry Farm on the Rappahannock River, opposite Fredericksburg, Virginia, where Washington spent much of his youth.Childhood and Education Little is known about Washington's childhood, which fostered many of the fables later biographers manufactured to fill in the gap. Among these are the stories that Washington threw a silver dollar across the Potomac and after chopping down his father's prize cherry tree, he openly confessed to the crime. It is known that from age seven to 15, Washington was home-schooled and studied with the local church sexton and later a schoolmaster in practical math, geography, Latin and the English classics. But much of the knowledge he would use the rest of his life was through his acquaintance with woodsmen and the plantation foreman. By his early teens, he had mastered growing tobacco, stock raising and surveying. Washington’s father died when he was 11 and he became the ward of his half-brother, Lawrence, who gave him a good upbringing. Lawrence had inherited the family's Little Hunting Creek Plantation and married Anne Fairfax, the daughter of Colonel William Fairfax, patriarch of the well-to-do Fairfax family. Under her tutelage, Washington was schooled in the finer aspects of colonial culture. In 1748, when he was 16, Washington traveled with a surveying party plotting land in Virginia’s western territory. The following year, aided by Lord Fairfax, Washington received an appointment as the official surveyor of Culpeper County. For two years he was very busy surveying the land in Culpeper, Frederick and Augusta counties. The experience made him resourceful and toughened his body and mind. It also piqued his interest in western land holdings, an interest that endured throughout his life with speculative land purchases and a belief that the future of the nation lay in colonizing the West. In July 1752, Washington's brother, Lawrence, died of tuberculosis, making him the heir apparent of the Washington lands. Lawrence’s only child, Sarah, died two months later and Washington became the head of one of Virginia's most prominent estates, Mount Vernon. He was 20 years old. Throughout his life, he would hold farming as one of the most honorable professions and he was most proud of Mount Vernon. Washington would gradually increase his landholdings there to about 8,000 acresPre-Revolutionary Military CareerIn the early 1750s, France and Britain were at peace. However, the French military had begun occupying much of the Ohio Valley, protecting the King's land interests, particularly fur trappers and French settlers. But the borderlands of this area were unclear and prone to dispute between the two countries. Washington showed early signs of natural leadership and shortly after Lawrence's death, Virginia's Lieutenant Governor, Robert Dinwiddie, appointed Washington adjutant with a rank of major in the Virginia militia.French and Indian War On October 31, 1753, Dinwiddie sent Washington to Fort LeBoeuf, at what is now Waterford, Pennsylvania, to warn the French to remove themselves from land claimed by Britain. The French politely refused and Washington made a hasty ride back to Williamsburg, Virginia's colonial capital. Dinwiddie sent Washington back with troops and they set up a post at Great Meadows. Washington's small force attacked a French post at Fort Duquesne, killing the commander, Coulon de Jumonville, and nine others and taking the rest prisoners. The French and Indian War had begun. The French counterattacked and drove Washington and his men back to his post at Great Meadows (later named \"Fort Necessity.\") After a full day siege, Washington surrendered and was soon released and returned to Williamsburg, promising not to build another fort on the Ohio River. Though a little embarrassed at being captured, he was grateful to receive the thanks from the House of Burgesses and see his name mentioned in the London gazettes. Washington was given the honorary rank of colonel and joined British General Edward Braddock's army in Virginia in 1755. The British had devised a plan for a three-prong assault on French forces attacking Fort Duquesne, Fort Niagara and Crown Point. During the encounter, the French and their Indian allies ambushed Braddock, who was mortally wounded. Washington escaped injury with four bullet holes in his cloak and two horses shot out from under him. Though he fought bravely, he could do little to turn back the rout and led the defeated army back to safety. Commander of Virginia TroopsIn August 1755, Washington was made commander of all Virginia troops at age 23. He was sent to the frontier to patrol and protect nearly 400 miles of border with some 700 ill-disciplined colonial troops and a Virginia colonial legislature unwilling to support him. It was a frustrating assignment. His health failed in the closing months of 1757 and he was sent home with dysentery. In 1758, Washington returned to duty on another expedition to capture Fort Duquesne. A friendly-fire incident took place, killing 14 and wounding 26 of Washington's men. However, the British were able to score a major victory, capturing Fort Duquesne and control of the Ohio Valley. Washington retired from his Virginia regiment in December 1758. His experience during the war was generally frustrating, with key decisions made slowly, poor support from the colonial legislature and poorly trained recruits. Washington applied for a commission with the British army but was turned down. In 1758, he resigned his commission and returned to Mount Vernon disillusioned. The same year, he entered politics and was elected to Virginia's House of Burgesses.Martha Washington A month after leaving the army, Washington married Martha Dandridge Custis, a widow, who was only a few months older than he. Martha brought to the marriage a considerable fortune: an 18,000-acre estate, from which Washington personally acquired 6,000 acres. With this and land he was granted for his military service, Washington became one of the more wealthy landowners in Virginia. The marriage also brought Martha's two young children, John (Jacky) and Martha (Patsy), ages six and four, respectively. Washington lavished great affection on both of them, and was heartbroken when Patsy died just before the Revolution. Jacky died during the Revolution, and Washington adopted two of his children.Enslaved People During his retirement from the Virginia militia until the start of the Revolution, Washington devoted himself to the care and development of his land holdings, attending the rotation of crops, managing livestock and keeping up with the latest scientific advances. By the 1790s, Washington kept over 300 enslaved people at Mount Vernon. He was said to dislike the institution of slavery, but accepted the fact that it was legal.Washington, in his will, made his displeasure with slavery known, as he ordered that all his enslaved people be granted their freedom upon the death of his wife Martha. (This act of generosity, however, applied to fewer than half of Mount Vernon's enslaved people: Those enslaved people owned by the Custis family were given to Martha’s grandchildren after her death.)Washington loved the landed gentry's life of horseback riding, fox hunts, fishing and cotillions. He worked six days a week, often taking off his coat and performing manual labor with his workers. He was an innovative and responsible landowner, breeding cattle and horses and tending to his fruit orchards. TeethMuch has been made of the fact that Washington used false teeth or dentures for most of his adult life. Indeed, Washington's correspondence to friends and family makes frequent references to aching teeth, inflamed gums and various dental woes.Washington had one tooth pulled when he was just 24 years old, and by the time of his inauguration in 1789 he had just one natural tooth left. But his false teeth weren't made of wood, as some legends suggest. Instead, Washington's false teeth were fashioned from human teeth — including teeth from enslaved people and his own pulled teeth — ivory, animal teeth and assorted metals. Washington's dental problems, according to some historians, probably impacted the shape of his face and may have contributed to his quiet, somber demeanor: During the Constitutional Convention, Washington addressed the gathered dignitaries only once.American RevolutionThough the British Proclamation Act of 1763 — prohibiting settlement beyond the Alleghenies — irritated Washington and he opposed the Stamp Act of 1765, he did not take a leading role in the growing colonial resistance against the British until the widespread protest of the Townshend Acts in 1767. His letters of this period indicate he was totally opposed to the colonies declaring independence. However, by 1767, he wasn't opposed to resisting what he believed were fundamental violations by the Crown of the rights of Englishmen. In 1769, Washington introduced a resolution to the House of Burgesses calling for Virginia to boycott British goods until the Acts were repealed. After the passage of the Coercive Acts in 1774, Washington chaired a meeting in which the Fairfax Resolves were adopted, calling for the convening of the Continental Congress and the use of armed resistance as a last resort. He was selected as a delegate to the First Continental Congress in March 1775.Commander-in-Chief of the Continental Army After the battles of Lexington and Concord in April 1775, the political dispute between Great Britain and her North American colonies escalated into an armed conflict. In May, Washington traveled to the Second Continental Congress in Philadelphia dressed in a military uniform, indicating that he was prepared for war. On June 15th, he was appointed Major General and Commander-in-Chief of the colonial forces against Great Britain. As was his custom, he did not seek out the office of commander, but he faced no serious competition. Washington was the best choice for a number of reasons: he had the prestige, military experience and charisma for the job and he had been advising Congress for months. Another factor was political: The Revolution had started in New England and at the time, they were the only colonies that had directly felt the brunt of British tyranny. Virginia was the largest British colony and New England needed Southern colonial support. Political considerations and force of personality aside, Washington was not necessarily qualified to wage war on the world's most powerful nation. Washington's training and experience were primarily in frontier warfare involving small numbers of soldiers. He wasn't trained in the open-field style of battle practiced by the commanding British generals. He also had no practical experience maneuvering large formations of infantry, commanding cavalry or artillery, or maintaining the flow of supplies for thousands of men in the field. But he was courageous and determined and smart enough to keep one step ahead of the enemy. Washington and his small army did taste victory early in March 1776 by placing artillery above Boston, on Dorchester Heights, forcing the British to withdraw. Washington then moved his troops into New York City. But in June, a new British commander, Sir William Howe, arrived in the Colonies with the largest expeditionary force Britain had ever deployed to date. Crossing the DelawareIn August 1776, the British army launched an attack and quickly took New York City in the largest battle of the war. Washington's army was routed and suffered the surrender of 2,800 men. He ordered the remains of his army to retreat into Pennsylvania across the Delaware River. Confident the war would be over in a few months, General Howe wintered his troops at Trenton and Princeton, leaving Washington free to attack at the time and place of his choosing. On Christmas night, 1776, Washington and his men returned across the Delaware River and attacked unsuspecting Hessian mercenaries at Trenton, forcing their surrender. A few days later, evading a force that had been sent to destroy his army, Washington attacked the British again, this time at Princeton, dealing them a humiliating loss.Victories and LossesGeneral Howe's strategy was to capture colonial cities and stop the rebellion at key economic and political centers. He never abandoned the belief that once the Americans were deprived of their major cities, the rebellion would wither. In the summer of 1777, he mounted an offensive against Philadelphia. Washington moved in his army to defend the city but was defeated at the Battle of Brandywine. Philadelphia fell two weeks later. In the late summer of 1777, the British army sent a major force, under the command of John Burgoyne, south from Quebec to Saratoga, New York, to split the rebellion between New England and the southern colonies. But the strategy backfired, as Burgoyne became trapped by the American armies led by Horatio Gates and Benedict Arnold at the Battle of Saratoga. Without support from Howe, who couldn't reach him in time, Burgoyne was forced to surrender his entire 6,200 man army. The victory was a major turning point in the war as it encouraged France to openly ally itself with the American cause for independence. Through all of this, Washington discovered an important lesson: The political nature of war was just as important as the military one. Washington began to understand that military victories were as important as keeping the resistance alive. Americans began to believe that they could meet their objective of independence without defeating the British army. Meanwhile, British General Howe clung to the strategy of capturing colonial cities in hopes of smothering the rebellion. Howe didn't realize that capturing cities like Philadelphia and New York would not unseat colonial power. The Congress would just pack up and meet elsewhere.Valley Forge The darkest time for Washington and the Continental Army was during the winter of 1777 at Valley Forge, Pennsylvania. The 11,000-man force went into winter quarters and over the next six months suffered thousands of deaths, mostly from disease. But the army emerged from the winter still intact and in relatively good order. Realizing their strategy of capturing colonial cities had failed, the British command replaced General Howe with Sir Henry Clinton. The British army evacuated Philadelphia to return to New York City. Washington and his men delivered several quick blows to the moving army, attacking the British flank near Monmouth Courthouse. Though a tactical standoff, the encounter proved Washington's army capable of open field battle. For the remainder of the war, Washington was content to keep the British confined to New York, although he never totally abandoned the idea of retaking the city. The alliance with France had brought a large French army and a navy fleet. Washington and his French counterparts decided to let Clinton be and attack British General Charles Cornwallis at Yorktown, Virginia. Facing the combined French and Colonial armies and the French fleet of 29 warships at his back, Cornwallis held out as long as he could, but on October 19, 1781, he surrendered his forces.Revolutionary War Victory Washington had no way of knowing the Yorktown victory would bring the war to a close. The British still had 26,000 troops occupying New York City, Charleston and Savannah, plus a large fleet of warships in the Colonies. By 1782, the French army and navy had departed, the Continental treasury was depleted, and most of his soldiers hadn’t been paid for several years. A near-mutiny was avoided when Washington convinced Congress to grant a five-year bonus for soldiers in March 1783. By November of that year, the British had evacuated New York City and other cities and the war was essentially over. The Americans had won their independence. Washington formally bade his troops farewell and on December 23, 1783, he resigned his commission as commander-in-chief of the army and returned to Mount Vernon. For four years, Washington attempted to fulfill his dream of resuming life as a gentleman farmer and to give his much-neglected Mount Vernon plantation the care and attention it deserved. The war had been costly to the Washington family with lands neglected, no exports of goods, and the depreciation of paper money. But Washington was able to repair his fortunes with a generous land grant from Congress for his military service and become profitable once again.Constitutional ConventionIn 1787, Washington was again called to the duty of his country. Since independence, the young republic had been struggling under the Articles of Confederation, a structure of government that centered power with the states. But the states were not unified. They fought among themselves over boundaries and navigation rights and refused to contribute to paying off the nation's war debt. In some instances, state legislatures imposed tyrannical tax policies on their own citizens. Washington was intensely dismayed at the state of affairs, but only slowly came to the realization that something should be done about it. Perhaps he wasn't sure the time was right so soon after the Revolution to be making major adjustments to the democratic experiment. Or perhaps because he hoped he would not be called upon to serve, he remained noncommittal. But when Shays' Rebellion erupted in Massachusetts, Washington knew something needed to be done to improve the nation’s government. In 1786, Congress approved a convention to be held in Philadelphia to amend the Articles of Confederation. At the Constitutional Convention, Washington was unanimously chosen as president. Washington, James Madison and Alexander Hamilton had come to the conclusion that it wasn't amendments that were needed, but a new constitution that would give the national government more authority. In the end, the Convention produced a plan for government that not only would address the country's current problems, but would endure through time. After the convention adjourned, Washington's reputation and support for the new government were indispensable to the ratification of the new U.S. Constitution. The opposition was strident, if not organized, with many of America's leading political figures — including Patrick Henry and Sam Adams — condemning the proposed government as a grab for power. Even in Washington's native Virginia, the Constitution was ratified by only one vote.DOWNLOAD BIOGRAPHY'S GEORGE WASHINGTON FACT CARDGeorge Washington: PresidencyStill hoping to retire to his beloved Mount Vernon, Washington was once again called upon to serve this country. During the presidential election of 1789, he received a vote from every elector to the Electoral College, the only president in American history to be elected by unanimous approval. He took the oath of office at Federal Hall in New York City, the capital of the United States at the time.As the first president, Washington was astutely aware that his presidency would set a precedent for all that would follow. He carefully attended to the responsibilities and duties of his office, remaining vigilant to not emulate any European royal court. To that end, he preferred the title \"Mr. President,\" instead of more imposing names that were suggested. At first he declined the $25,000 salary Congress offered the office of the presidency, for he was already wealthy and wanted to protect his image as a selfless public servant. However, Congress persuaded him to accept the compensation to avoid giving the impression that only wealthy men could serve as president.Washington proved to be an able administrator. He surrounded himself with some of the most capable people in the country, appointing Hamilton as Secretary of the Treasury and Thomas Jefferson as Secretary of State. He delegated authority wisely and consulted regularly with his cabinet listening to their advice before making a decision. Washington established broad-ranging presidential authority, but always with the highest integrity, exercising power with restraint and honesty. In doing so, he set a standard rarely met by his successors, but one that established an ideal by which all are judged.READ MORE: How George Washington’s Personal and Physical Characteristics Helped Him Win the PresidencyAccomplishmentsDuring his first term, Washington adopted a series of measures proposed by Treasury Secretary Hamilton to reduce the nation's debt and place its finances on sound footing. His administration also established several peace treaties with Native American tribes and approved a bill establishing the nation's capital in a permanent district along the Potomac River. Whiskey RebellionThen, in 1791, Washington signed a bill authorizing Congress to place a tax on distilled spirits, which stirred protests in rural areas of Pennsylvania.Quickly, the protests turned into a full-scale defiance of federal law known as the Whiskey Rebellion. Washington invoked the Militia Act of 1792, summoning local militias from several states to put down the rebellion. Washington personally took command, marching the troops into the areas of rebellion and demonstrating that the federal government would use force, when necessary, to enforce the law. This was also the only time a sitting U.S. president has led troops into battle.Jay TreatyIn foreign affairs, Washington took a cautious approach, realizing that the weak young nation could not succumb to Europe's political intrigues. In 1793, France and Great Britain were once again at war. At the urging of Hamilton, Washington disregarded the U.S. alliance with France and pursued a course of neutrality. In 1794, he sent John Jay to Britain to negotiate a treaty (known as the \"Jay Treaty\") to secure a peace with Britain and clear up some issues held over from the Revolutionary War.The action infuriated Jefferson, who supported the French and felt that the U.S. needed to honor its treaty obligations. Washington was able to mobilize public support for the treaty, which proved decisive in securing ratification in the Senate. Though controversial, the treaty proved beneficial to the United States by removing British forts along the western frontier, establishing a clear boundary between Canada and the United States, and most importantly, delaying a war with Britain and providing over a decade of prosperous trade and development the fledgling country so desperately needed.Political PartiesAll through his two terms as president, Washington was dismayed at the growing partisanship within the government and the nation. The power bestowed on the federal government by the Constitution made for important decisions, and people joined together to influence those decisions. The formation of political parties at first were influenced more by personality than by issues.As Treasury secretary, Hamilton pushed for a strong national government and an economy built in industry. Secretary of State Jefferson desired to keep government small and center power more at the local level, where citizens' freedom could be better protected. He envisioned an economy based on farming. Those who followed Hamilton's vision took the name Federalists and people who opposed those ideas and tended to lean toward Jefferson’s view began calling themselves Democratic-Republicans. Washington despised political partisanship, believing that ideological differences should never become institutionalized. He strongly felt that political leaders should be free to debate important issues without being bound by party loyalty.However, Washington could do little to slow the development of political parties. The ideals promoted by Hamilton and Jefferson produced a two-party system that proved remarkably durable. These opposing viewpoints represented a continuation of the debate over the proper role of government, a debate that began with the conception of the Constitution and continues today.Washington's administration was not without its critics who questioned what they saw as extravagant conventions in the office of the president. During his two terms, Washington rented the best houses available and was driven in a coach drawn by four horses, with outriders and lackeys in rich uniforms. After being overwhelmed by callers, he announced that except for the scheduled weekly reception open to all, he would only see people by appointment. Washington entertained lavishly, but in private dinners and receptions at invitation only. He was, by some, accused of conducting himself like a king.However, ever mindful his presidency would set the precedent for those to follow, he was careful to avoid the trappings of a monarchy. At public ceremonies, he did not appear in a military uniform or the monarchical robes. Instead, he dressed in a black velvet suit with gold buckles and powdered hair, as was the common custom. His reserved manner was more due to inherent reticence than any excessive sense of dignity.Retirement Desiring to return to Mount Vernon and his farming, and feeling the decline of his physical powers with age, Washington refused to yield to the pressures to serve a third term, even though he would probably not have faced any opposition. By doing this, he was again mindful of the precedent of being the \"first president,\" and chose to establish a peaceful transition of government.Farewell AddressIn the last months of his presidency, Washington felt he needed to give his country one last measure of himself. With the help of Hamilton, he composed his Farewell Address to the American people, which urged his fellow citizens to cherish the Union and avoid partisanship and permanent foreign alliances. In March 1797, he turned over the government to John Adams and returned to Mount Vernon, determined to live his last years as a simple gentleman farmer. His last official act was to pardon the participants in the Whiskey Rebellion.Upon returning to Mount Vernon in the spring of 1797, Washington felt a reflective sense of relief and accomplishment. He had left the government in capable hands, at peace, its debts well-managed, and set on a course of prosperity. He devoted much of his time to tending the farm's operations and management. Although he was perceived to be wealthy, his land holdings were only marginally profitable.DeathOn a cold December day in 1799, Washington spent much of it inspecting the farm on horseback in a driving snowstorm. When he returned home, he hastily ate his supper in his wet clothes and then went to bed. The next morning, on December 13, he awoke with a severe sore throat and became increasingly hoarse. He retired early, but awoke around 3 a.m. and told Martha that he felt very sick. The illness progressed until he died late in the evening of December 14, 1799. The news of Washington's death at age 67 spread throughout the country, plunging the nation into a deep mourning. Many towns and cities held mock funerals and presented hundreds of eulogies to honor their fallen hero. When the news of this death reached Europe, the British fleet paid tribute to his memory, and Napoleon ordered ten days of mourning.LegacyWashington could have been a king. Instead, he chose to be a citizen. He set many precedents for the national government and the presidency: The two-term limit in office, only broken once by Franklin D. Roosevelt, was later ensconced in the Constitution's 22nd Amendment. He crystallized the power of the presidency as a part of the government’s three branches of government, able to exercise authority when necessary, but also accept the checks and balances of power inherent in the system.He was not only considered a military and revolutionary hero, but a man of great personal integrity, with a deep sense of duty, honor and patriotism. For over 200 years, Washington has been acclaimed as indispensable to the success of the Revolution and the birth of the nation. But his most important legacy may be that he insisted he was dispensable, asserting that the cause of liberty was larger than any single individual.Watch \"George Washington: Founding Father\" on HISTORY VaultQUICK FACTSName: George WashingtonBirth Year: 1732Birth date: February 22, 1732Birth State: VirginiaBirth City: Westmoreland CountyBirth Country: United StatesGender: MaleBest Known For: George Washington, a Founding Father of the United States, led the Continental Army to victory in the Revolutionary War and was America’s first president.IndustriesU.S. PoliticsAstrological Sign: PiscesDeath Year: 1799Death date: December 14, 1799Death State: VirginiaDeath City: Mount VernonDeath Country: United StatesFact CheckWe strive for accuracy and fairness.If you see something that doesn't look right,contact us!CITATION INFORMATIONArticle Title: George Washington BiographyAuthor: Biography.com EditorsWebsite Name: The Biography.com websiteUrl: https://www.biography.com/political-figures/george-washingtonAccess Date: Publisher: AE; Television NetworksLast Updated: September 11, 2020Original Published Date: April 3, 2014QUOTESObserve good faith and justice towards all nations; cultivate peace and harmony with all.When we assumed the soldier, we did not lay aside the citizen.Be courteous to all, but intimate with few.[T]he preservation of the sacred fire of liberty, and the destiny of the republican model of government, are justly considered as deeply, perhaps as finally staked, on the experiment entrusted to the hands of the American people.We should never despair, our situation before has been unpromising and has changed for the better, so I trust, it will again.

data-node-id="2" class="css-1nd4gv7 emevuu60">George Washington was a Virginia plantation owner who served as a general and commander-in-chief of the colonial armies during the American Revolutionary War, and later became the first president of the United States, serving from 1789 to 1797. </p><h2 data-node-id="3" class="css-1aenskv emevuu60">Early Life and Family</h2><p data-journey-content="true" data-node-id="4" class="css-1nd4gv7 emevuu60">Washington was born on February 22, 1732, in Westmoreland County, Virginia. He was the eldest of Augustine and Mary’s six children, all of whom survived into adulthood. </p><section data-embed="watch-next" data-lazy-id="P0-8" data-node-id="5" class="embed"></section><p data-journey-content="true" data-node-id="6" class="css-1nd4gv7 emevuu60">The family lived on Pope's Creek in Westmoreland County, Virginia. They were moderately prosperous members of Virginia's "middling class."</p><p data-journey-content="true" data-node-id="7" class="css-1nd4gv7 emevuu60">Washington could trace his family's presence in North America to his great-grandfather, John Washington, who migrated from England to Virginia. The family held some distinction in England and was granted land by <a href="https://www.biography.com/royalty/henry-viii" data-vars-ga-outbound-link="https://www.biography.com/royalty/henry-viii" data-vars-ga-ux-element="Hyperlink" data-vars-ga-call-to-action="Henry VIII" class="body-link css-1dhrel9 emevuu60">Henry VIII</a>. </p><p data-journey-content="true" data-node-id="8" class="css-1nd4gv7 emevuu60">But much of the family’s wealth in England was lost under the <a href="https://www.history.com/topics/colonial-america/puritanism" data-vars-ga-outbound-link="https://www.history.com/topics/colonial-america/puritanism" data-vars-ga-ux-element="Hyperlink" data-vars-ga-call-to-action="Puritan" class="body-link css-1dhrel9 emevuu60">Puritan</a> government of <a href="https://www.biography.com/political-figure/oliver-cromwell" data-vars-ga-outbound-link="https://www.biography.com/political-figure/oliver-cromwell" data-vars-ga-ux-element="Hyperlink" data-vars-ga-call-to-action="Oliver Cromwell" class="body-link css-1dhrel9 emevuu60">Oliver Cromwell</a>. In 1657 Washington’s grandfather, Lawrence Washington, migrated to Virginia. Little information is available about the family in North America until Washington’s father, Augustine, was born in 1694.</p> <p data-journey-content="true" data-node-id="10" class="css-1nd4gv7 emevuu60">Augustine Washington was an ambitious man who acquired land and enslaved people, built mills, and grew tobacco. For a time, he had an interest in opening iron mines. He married his first wife, Jane Butler, and they had three children. Jane died in 1729 and Augustine married Mary Ball in 1731. </p><h2 data-node-id="11" class="css-1aenskv emevuu60">Mount Vernon</h2> <p data-journey-content="true" data-node-id="13" class="css-1nd4gv7 emevuu60">In 1735, Augustine moved the family up the Potomac River to another Washington family home, Little Hunting Creek Plantation — later renamed <a href="https://www.history.com/topics/landmarks/mount-vernon" data-vars-ga-outbound-link="https://www.history.com/topics/landmarks/mount-vernon" data-vars-ga-ux-element="Hyperlink" data-vars-ga-call-to-action="Mount Vernon" class="body-link css-1dhrel9 emevuu60">Mount Vernon</a>. </p><p data-journey-content="true" data-node-id="14" class="css-1nd4gv7 emevuu60">They moved again in 1738 to Ferry Farm on the Rappahannock River, opposite Fredericksburg, Virginia, where Washington spent much of his youth.</p><h2 data-node-id="15" class="css-1aenskv emevuu60">Childhood and Education</h2> <p data-journey-content="true" data-node-id="17" class="css-1nd4gv7 emevuu60">Little is known about Washington's childhood, which fostered many of the fables later biographers manufactured to fill in the gap. Among these are the stories that Washington threw a silver dollar across the Potomac and after chopping down his father's prize cherry tree, he openly confessed to the crime. </p><p data-journey-content="true" data-node-id="18" class="css-1nd4gv7 emevuu60">It is known that from age seven to 15, Washington was home-schooled and studied with the local church sexton and later a schoolmaster in practical math, geography, Latin and the English classics. </p><p data-journey-content="true" data-node-id="19" class="css-1nd4gv7 emevuu60">But much of the knowledge he would use the rest of his life was through his acquaintance with woodsmen and the plantation foreman. By his early teens, he had mastered growing tobacco, stock raising and surveying.</p> <p data-journey-content="true" data-node-id="21" class="css-1nd4gv7 emevuu60">Washington’s father died when he was 11 and he became the ward of his half-brother, Lawrence, who gave him a good upbringing. Lawrence had inherited the family's Little Hunting Creek Plantation and married Anne Fairfax, the daughter of Colonel William Fairfax, patriarch of the well-to-do Fairfax family. Under her tutelage, Washington was schooled in the finer aspects of colonial culture.</p> <p data-journey-content="true" data-node-id="23" class="css-1nd4gv7 emevuu60">In 1748, when he was 16, Washington traveled with a surveying party plotting land in Virginia’s western territory. The following year, aided by Lord Fairfax, Washington received an appointment as the official surveyor of Culpeper County. </p><p data-journey-content="true" data-node-id="24" class="css-1nd4gv7 emevuu60">For two years he was very busy surveying the land in Culpeper, Frederick and Augusta counties. The experience made him resourceful and toughened his body and mind. It also piqued his interest in western land holdings, an interest that endured throughout his life with speculative land purchases and a belief that the future of the nation lay in colonizing the West.</p> <p data-journey-content="true" data-node-id="26" class="css-1nd4gv7 emevuu60">In July 1752, Washington's brother, Lawrence, died of tuberculosis, making him the heir apparent of the Washington lands. Lawrence’s only child, Sarah, died two months later and Washington became the head of one of Virginia's most prominent estates, Mount Vernon. He was 20 years old. </p><p data-journey-content="true" data-node-id="27" class="css-1nd4gv7 emevuu60">Throughout his life, he would hold farming as one of the most honorable professions and he was most proud of Mount Vernon. Washington would gradually increase his landholdings there to about 8,000 acres</p><h2 data-node-id="28" class="css-1aenskv emevuu60">Pre-Revolutionary Military Career</h2><p data-journey-content="true" data-node-id="29" class="css-1nd4gv7 emevuu60">In the early 1750s, France and Britain were at peace. However, the French military had begun occupying much of the Ohio Valley, protecting the King's land interests, particularly fur trappers and French settlers. But the borderlands of this area were unclear and prone to dispute between the two countries. </p><p data-journey-content="true" data-node-id="30" class="css-1nd4gv7 emevuu60">Washington showed early signs of natural leadership and shortly after Lawrence's death, Virginia's Lieutenant Governor, Robert Dinwiddie, appointed Washington adjutant with a rank of major in the Virginia militia.</p><h2 data-node-id="31" class="css-1aenskv emevuu60">French and Indian War</h2> <p data-journey-content="true" data-node-id="33" class="css-1nd4gv7 emevuu60">On October 31, 1753, Dinwiddie sent Washington to Fort LeBoeuf, at what is now Waterford, Pennsylvania, to warn the French to remove themselves from land claimed by Britain. The French politely refused and Washington made a hasty ride back to Williamsburg, Virginia's colonial capital. </p><p data-journey-content="true" data-node-id="34" class="css-1nd4gv7 emevuu60">Dinwiddie sent Washington back with troops and they set up a post at Great Meadows. Washington's small force attacked a French post at Fort Duquesne, killing the commander, Coulon de Jumonville, and nine others and taking the rest prisoners. The <a href="https://www.history.com/topics/native-american-history/french-and-indian-war" data-vars-ga-outbound-link="https://www.history.com/topics/native-american-history/french-and-indian-war" data-vars-ga-ux-element="Hyperlink" data-vars-ga-call-to-action="French and Indian War" class="body-link css-1dhrel9 emevuu60">French and Indian War</a> had begun.</p> <p data-journey-content="true" data-node-id="36" class="css-1nd4gv7 emevuu60">The French counterattacked and drove Washington and his men back to his post at Great Meadows (later named "Fort Necessity.") After a full day siege, Washington surrendered and was soon released and returned to Williamsburg, promising not to build another fort on the Ohio River. </p><p data-journey-content="true" data-node-id="37" class="css-1nd4gv7 emevuu60">Though a little embarrassed at being captured, he was grateful to receive the thanks from the House of Burgesses and see his name mentioned in the London gazettes.</p> <p data-journey-content="true" data-node-id="39" class="css-1nd4gv7 emevuu60">Washington was given the honorary rank of colonel and joined British General Edward Braddock's army in Virginia in 1755. The British had devised a plan for a three-prong assault on French forces attacking Fort Duquesne, Fort Niagara and Crown Point. </p><p data-journey-content="true" data-node-id="40" class="css-1nd4gv7 emevuu60">During the encounter, the French and their Indian allies ambushed Braddock, who was mortally wounded. Washington escaped injury with four bullet holes in his cloak and two horses shot out from under him. Though he fought bravely, he could do little to turn back the rout and led the defeated army back to safety. </p> <h2 data-node-id="42" class="css-1aenskv emevuu60">Commander of Virginia Troops</h2><p data-journey-content="true" data-node-id="43" class="css-1nd4gv7 emevuu60">In August 1755, Washington was made commander of all Virginia troops at age 23. He was sent to the frontier to patrol and protect nearly 400 miles of border with some 700 ill-disciplined colonial troops and a Virginia colonial legislature unwilling to support him. </p><p data-journey-content="true" data-node-id="44" class="css-1nd4gv7 emevuu60">It was a frustrating assignment. His health failed in the closing months of 1757 and he was sent home with dysentery.</p> <p data-journey-content="true" data-node-id="46" class="css-1nd4gv7 emevuu60">In 1758, Washington returned to duty on another expedition to capture Fort Duquesne. A friendly-fire incident took place, killing 14 and wounding 26 of Washington's men. However, the British were able to score a major victory, capturing Fort Duquesne and control of the Ohio Valley. </p><p data-journey-content="true" data-node-id="47" class="css-1nd4gv7 emevuu60">Washington retired from his Virginia regiment in December 1758. His experience during the war was generally frustrating, with key decisions made slowly, poor support from the colonial legislature and poorly trained recruits. </p><p data-journey-content="true" data-node-id="48" class="css-1nd4gv7 emevuu60">Washington applied for a commission with the British army but was turned down. In 1758, he resigned his commission and returned to Mount Vernon disillusioned. The same year, he entered politics and was elected to Virginia's House of Burgesses.</p><h2 data-node-id="49" class="css-1aenskv emevuu60">Martha Washington</h2> <p data-journey-content="true" data-node-id="51" class="css-1nd4gv7 emevuu60">A month after leaving the army, Washington married Martha Dandridge Custis, a widow, who was only a few months older than he. Martha brought to the marriage a considerable fortune: an 18,000-acre estate, from which Washington personally acquired 6,000 acres. </p><p data-journey-content="true" data-node-id="52" class="css-1nd4gv7 emevuu60">With this and land he was granted for his military service, Washington became one of the more wealthy landowners in Virginia. The marriage also brought Martha's two young children, John (Jacky) and Martha (Patsy), ages six and four, respectively. </p><p data-journey-content="true" data-node-id="53" class="css-1nd4gv7 emevuu60">Washington lavished great affection on both of them, and was heartbroken when Patsy died just before the Revolution. Jacky died during the Revolution, and Washington adopted two of his children.</p><h2 data-node-id="54" class="css-1aenskv emevuu60">Enslaved People</h2> <p data-journey-content="true" data-node-id="56" class="css-1nd4gv7 emevuu60">During his retirement from the Virginia militia until the start of the Revolution, Washington devoted himself to the care and development of his land holdings, attending the rotation of crops, managing livestock and keeping up with the latest scientific advances. </p><p data-journey-content="true" data-node-id="57" class="css-1nd4gv7 emevuu60">By the 1790s, Washington kept over 300 enslaved people at Mount Vernon. He was said to dislike the institution of <a href="https://www.history.com/topics/black-history/slavery" data-vars-ga-outbound-link="https://www.history.com/topics/black-history/slavery" data-vars-ga-ux-element="Hyperlink" data-vars-ga-call-to-action="slavery" class="body-link css-1dhrel9 emevuu60">slavery</a>, but accepted the fact that it was legal.</p><p data-journey-content="true" data-node-id="58" class="css-1nd4gv7 emevuu60">Washington, in his will, made his displeasure with slavery known, as he ordered that all his enslaved people be granted their freedom upon the death of his wife Martha. (This act of generosity, however, applied to fewer than half of Mount Vernon's enslaved people: Those enslaved people owned by the Custis family were given to Martha’s grandchildren after her death.)</p><p data-journey-content="true" data-node-id="59" class="css-1nd4gv7 emevuu60">Washington loved the landed gentry's life of horseback riding, fox hunts, fishing and cotillions. He worked six days a week, often taking off his coat and performing manual labor with his workers. He was an innovative and responsible landowner, breeding cattle and horses and tending to his fruit orchards. </p><h2 data-node-id="60" class="css-1aenskv emevuu60">Teeth</h2><p data-journey-content="true" data-node-id="61" class="css-1nd4gv7 emevuu60">Much has been made of the fact that Washington used false teeth or dentures for most of his adult life. Indeed, Washington's correspondence to friends and family makes frequent references to aching teeth, inflamed gums and various dental woes.</p><p data-journey-content="true" data-node-id="62" class="css-1nd4gv7 emevuu60">Washington had one tooth pulled when he was just 24 years old, and by the time of his inauguration in 1789 he had just one natural tooth left. But his false teeth weren't made of wood, as some legends suggest. </p><p data-journey-content="true" data-node-id="63" class="css-1nd4gv7 emevuu60">Instead, Washington's false teeth were fashioned from human teeth — including teeth from enslaved people and his own pulled teeth — ivory, animal teeth and assorted metals. </p><p data-journey-content="true" data-node-id="64" class="css-1nd4gv7 emevuu60">Washington's dental problems, according to some historians, probably impacted the shape of his face and may have contributed to his quiet, somber demeanor: During the Constitutional Convention, Washington addressed the gathered dignitaries only once.</p><h2 data-node-id="65" class="css-1aenskv emevuu60">American Revolution</h2><p data-journey-content="true" data-node-id="66" class="css-1nd4gv7 emevuu60">Though the British Proclamation Act of 1763 — prohibiting settlement beyond the Alleghenies — irritated Washington and he opposed the <a href="https://www.history.com/topics/american-revolution/stamp-act" data-vars-ga-outbound-link="https://www.history.com/topics/american-revolution/stamp-act" data-vars-ga-ux-element="Hyperlink" data-vars-ga-call-to-action="Stamp Act" class="body-link css-1dhrel9 emevuu60">Stamp Act</a> of 1765, he did not take a leading role in the growing colonial resistance against the British until the widespread protest of the <a href="https://www.history.com/topics/american-revolution/townshend-acts" data-vars-ga-outbound-link="https://www.history.com/topics/american-revolution/townshend-acts" data-vars-ga-ux-element="Hyperlink" data-vars-ga-call-to-action="Townshend Acts" class="body-link css-1dhrel9 emevuu60">Townshend Acts</a> in 1767. </p><p data-journey-content="true" data-node-id="67" class="css-1nd4gv7 emevuu60">His letters of this period indicate he was totally opposed to the colonies declaring independence. However, by 1767, he wasn't opposed to resisting what he believed were fundamental violations by the Crown of the rights of Englishmen.</p> <p data-journey-content="true" data-node-id="69" class="css-1nd4gv7 emevuu60">In 1769, Washington introduced a resolution to the House of Burgesses calling for Virginia to boycott British goods until the Acts were repealed. </p><p data-journey-content="true" data-node-id="70" class="css-1nd4gv7 emevuu60">After the passage of the <a href="https://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/british-parliament-adopts-the-coercive-acts" data-vars-ga-outbound-link="https://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/british-parliament-adopts-the-coercive-acts" data-vars-ga-ux-element="Hyperlink" data-vars-ga-call-to-action="Coercive Acts" class="body-link css-1dhrel9 emevuu60">Coercive Acts</a> in 1774, Washington chaired a meeting in which the Fairfax Resolves were adopted, calling for the convening of the <a href="https://www.history.com/topics/american-revolution/the-continental-congress" data-vars-ga-outbound-link="https://www.history.com/topics/american-revolution/the-continental-congress" data-vars-ga-ux-element="Hyperlink" data-vars-ga-call-to-action="Continental Congress" class="body-link css-1dhrel9 emevuu60">Continental Congress</a> and the use of armed resistance as a last resort.

In May, Washington traveled to the Second Continental Congress in Philadelphia dressed in a military uniform, indicating that he was prepared for war. </p><p data-journey-content="true" data-node-id="74" class="css-1nd4gv7 emevuu60">On June 15th, he was appointed Major General and Commander-in-Chief of the colonial forces against Great Britain. As was his custom, he did not seek out the office of commander, but he faced no serious competition.</p> <p data-journey-content="true" data-node-id="76" class="css-1nd4gv7 emevuu60">Washington was the best choice for a number of reasons: he had the prestige, military experience and charisma for the job and he had been advising Congress for months. </p><p data-journey-content="true" data-node-id="77" class="css-1nd4gv7 emevuu60">Another factor was political: The Revolution had started in New England and at the time, they were the only colonies that had directly felt the brunt of British tyranny. Virginia was the largest British colony and New England needed Southern colonial support.</p> <p data-journey-content="true" data-node-id="79" class="css-1nd4gv7 emevuu60">Political considerations and force of personality aside, Washington was not necessarily qualified to wage war on the world's most powerful nation. Washington's training and experience were primarily in frontier warfare involving small numbers of soldiers. He wasn't trained in the open-field style of battle practiced by the commanding British generals. </p><p data-journey-content="true" data-node-id="80" class="css-1nd4gv7 emevuu60">He also had no practical experience maneuvering large formations of infantry, commanding cavalry or artillery, or maintaining the flow of supplies for thousands of men in the field. But he was courageous and determined and smart enough to keep one step ahead of the enemy.</p> <p data-journey-content="true" data-node-id="82" class="css-1nd4gv7 emevuu60">Washington and his small army did taste victory early in March 1776 by placing artillery above Boston, on Dorchester Heights, forcing the British to withdraw. Washington then moved his troops into New York City. But in June, a new British commander, Sir <a href="https://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/howe-named-commander-in-chief-of-british-army" data-vars-ga-outbound-link="https://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/howe-named-commander-in-chief-of-british-army" data-vars-ga-ux-element="Hyperlink" data-vars-ga-call-to-action="William Howe" class="body-link css-1dhrel9 emevuu60">William Howe</a>, arrived in the Colonies with the largest expeditionary force Britain had ever deployed to date.</p> <h2 data-node-id="84" class="css-1aenskv emevuu60">Crossing the Delaware</h2><p data-journey-content="true" data-node-id="85" class="css-1nd4gv7 emevuu60">In August 1776, the British army launched an attack and quickly took New York City in the largest battle of the war. Washington's army was routed and suffered the surrender of 2,800 men. </p><p data-journey-content="true" data-node-id="86" class="css-1nd4gv7 emevuu60">He ordered the remains of his army to retreat into Pennsylvania across the Delaware River. Confident the war would be over in a few months, General Howe wintered his troops at Trenton and Princeton, leaving Washington free to attack at the time and place of his choosing.</p> <p data-journey-content="true" data-node-id="88" class="css-1nd4gv7 emevuu60">On Christmas night, 1776, Washington and his men returned across the Delaware River and attacked unsuspecting Hessian mercenaries at Trenton, forcing their surrender. A few days later, evading a force that had been sent to destroy his army, Washington attacked the British again, this time at Princeton, dealing them a humiliating loss.</p><h2 data-node-id="89" class="css-1aenskv emevuu60">Victories and Losses</h2><p data-journey-content="true" data-node-id="90" class="css-1nd4gv7 emevuu60">General Howe's strategy was to capture colonial cities and stop the rebellion at key economic and political centers. He never abandoned the belief that once the Americans were deprived of their major cities, the rebellion would wither. </p><p data-journey-content="true" data-node-id="91" class="css-1nd4gv7 emevuu60">In the summer of 1777, he mounted an offensive against Philadelphia. Washington moved in his army to defend the city but was defeated at the <a href="https://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/the-battle-of-brandywine-begins" data-vars-ga-outbound-link="https://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/the-battle-of-brandywine-begins" data-vars-ga-ux-element="Hyperlink" data-vars-ga-call-to-action="Battle of Brandywine" class="body-link css-1dhrel9 emevuu60">Battle of Brandywine</a>. Philadelphia fell two weeks later.</p> <p data-journey-content="true" data-node-id="93" class="css-1nd4gv7 emevuu60">In the late summer of 1777, the British army sent a major force, under the command of John Burgoyne, south from Quebec to Saratoga, New York, to split the rebellion between New England and the southern colonies. But the strategy backfired, as Burgoyne became trapped by the American armies led by Horatio Gates and <a href="https://www.biography.com/military-figures/benedict-arnold" data-vars-ga-outbound-link="https://www.biography.com/military-figures/benedict-arnold" data-vars-ga-ux-element="Hyperlink" data-vars-ga-call-to-action="Benedict Arnold" class="body-link css-1dhrel9 emevuu60">Benedict Arnold</a> at the <a href="https://www.history.com/topics/american-revolution/battle-of-saratoga" data-vars-ga-outbound-link="https://www.history.com/topics/american-revolution/battle-of-saratoga" data-vars-ga-ux-element="Hyperlink" data-vars-ga-call-to-action="Battle of Saratoga" class="body-link css-1dhrel9 emevuu60">Battle of Saratoga</a>. </p><p data-journey-content="true" data-node-id="94" class="css-1nd4gv7 emevuu60">Without support from Howe, who couldn't reach him in time, Burgoyne was forced to surrender his entire 6,200 man army. The victory was a major turning point in the war as it encouraged France to openly ally itself with the American cause for independence.</p> <p data-journey-content="true" data-node-id="96" class="css-1nd4gv7 emevuu60">Through all of this, Washington discovered an important lesson: The political nature of war was just as important as the military one. Washington began to understand that military victories were as important as keeping the resistance alive. </p><p data-journey-content="true" data-node-id="97" class="css-1nd4gv7 emevuu60">Americans began to believe that they could meet their objective of independence without defeating the British army. Meanwhile, British General Howe clung to the strategy of capturing colonial cities in hopes of smothering the rebellion. </p><p data-journey-content="true" data-node-id="98" class="css-1nd4gv7 emevuu60">Howe didn't realize that capturing cities like Philadelphia and New York would not unseat colonial power. The Congress would just pack up and meet elsewhere.</p><h2 data-node-id="99" class="css-1aenskv emevuu60">Valley Forge</h2> <p data-journey-content="true" data-node-id="101" class="css-1nd4gv7 emevuu60">The darkest time for Washington and the Continental Army was during the winter of 1777 at Valley Forge, Pennsylvania. The 11,000-man force went into winter quarters and over the next six months suffered thousands of deaths, mostly from disease. But the army emerged from the winter still intact and in relatively good order. </p><p data-journey-content="true" data-node-id="102" class="css-1nd4gv7 emevuu60">Realizing their strategy of capturing colonial cities had failed, the British command replaced General Howe with Sir Henry Clinton. The British army evacuated Philadelphia to return to New York City. Washington and his men delivered several quick blows to the moving army, attacking the British flank near Monmouth Courthouse. Though a tactical standoff, the encounter proved Washington's army capable of open field battle.</p> <p data-journey-content="true" data-node-id="104" class="css-1nd4gv7 emevuu60">For the remainder of the war, Washington was content to keep the British confined to New York, although he never totally abandoned the idea of retaking the city. The alliance with France had brought a large French army and a navy fleet. </p><p data-journey-content="true" data-node-id="105" class="css-1nd4gv7 emevuu60">Washington and his French counterparts decided to let Clinton be and attack British General <a href="https://www.history.com/topics/american-revolution/charles-cornwallis" data-vars-ga-outbound-link="https://www.history.com/topics/american-revolution/charles-cornwallis" data-vars-ga-ux-element="Hyperlink" data-vars-ga-call-to-action="Charles Cornwallis" class="body-link css-1dhrel9 emevuu60">Charles Cornwallis</a> at Yorktown, Virginia. Facing the combined French and Colonial armies and the French fleet of 29 warships at his back, Cornwallis held out as long as he could, but on October 19, 1781, he surrendered his forces.</p><h2 data-node-id="106" class="css-1aenskv emevuu60">Revolutionary War Victory</h2> <p data-journey-content="true" data-node-id="108" class="css-1nd4gv7 emevuu60">Washington had no way of knowing the Yorktown victory would bring the war to a close. </p><p data-journey-content="true" data-node-id="109" class="css-1nd4gv7 emevuu60">The British still had 26,000 troops occupying New York City, Charleston and Savannah, plus a large fleet of warships in the Colonies. By 1782, the French army and navy had departed, the Continental treasury was depleted, and most of his soldiers hadn’t been paid for several years.</p> <p data-journey-content="true" data-node-id="111" class="css-1nd4gv7 emevuu60">A near-mutiny was avoided when Washington convinced Congress to grant a five-year bonus for soldiers in March 1783. By November of that year, the British had evacuated New York City and other cities and the war was essentially over. </p><p data-journey-content="true" data-node-id="112" class="css-1nd4gv7 emevuu60">The Americans had won their independence. Washington formally bade his troops farewell and on December 23, 1783, he resigned his commission as commander-in-chief of the army and returned to Mount Vernon.</p> <p data-journey-content="true" data-node-id="114" class="css-1nd4gv7 emevuu60">For four years, Washington attempted to fulfill his dream of resuming life as a gentleman farmer and to give his much-neglected Mount Vernon plantation the care and attention it deserved. </p><p data-journey-content="true" data-node-id="115" class="css-1nd4gv7 emevuu60">The war had been costly to the Washington family with lands neglected, no exports of goods, and the depreciation of paper money. But Washington was able to repair his fortunes with a generous land grant from Congress for his military service and become profitable once again.</p><h2 data-node-id="116" class="css-1aenskv emevuu60">Constitutional Convention</h2><p data-journey-content="true" data-node-id="117" class="css-1nd4gv7 emevuu60">In 1787, Washington was again called to the duty of his country. Since independence, the young republic had been struggling under the <a href="https://www.history.com/topics/early-us/articles-of-confederation" data-vars-ga-outbound-link="https://www.history.com/topics/early-us/articles-of-confederation" data-vars-ga-ux-element="Hyperlink" data-vars-ga-call-to-action="Articles of Confederation" class="body-link css-1dhrel9 emevuu60">Articles of Confederation</a>, a structure of government that centered power with the states. </p><p data-journey-content="true" data-node-id="118" class="css-1nd4gv7 emevuu60">But the states were not unified. They fought among themselves over boundaries and navigation rights and refused to contribute to paying off the nation's war debt. In some instances, state legislatures imposed tyrannical tax policies on their own citizens.</p> <p data-journey-content="true" data-node-id="120" class="css-1nd4gv7 emevuu60">Washington was intensely dismayed at the state of affairs, but only slowly came to the realization that something should be done about it. Perhaps he wasn't sure the time was right so soon after the Revolution to be making major adjustments to the democratic experiment. Or perhaps because he hoped he would not be called upon to serve, he remained noncommittal. </p><p data-journey-content="true" data-node-id="121" class="css-1nd4gv7 emevuu60">But when <a href="https://www.history.com/topics/early-us/shays-rebellion" data-vars-ga-outbound-link="https://www.history.com/topics/early-us/shays-rebellion" data-vars-ga-ux-element="Hyperlink" data-vars-ga-call-to-action="Shays' Rebellion" class="body-link css-1dhrel9 emevuu60">Shays' Rebellion</a> erupted in Massachusetts, Washington knew something needed to be done to improve the nation’s government. In 1786, Congress approved a convention to be held in Philadelphia to amend the Articles of Confederation.</p> <p data-journey-content="true" data-node-id="123" class="css-1nd4gv7 emevuu60">At the <a href="https://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/constitutional-convention-begins" data-vars-ga-outbound-link="https://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/constitutional-convention-begins" data-vars-ga-ux-element="Hyperlink" data-vars-ga-call-to-action="Constitutional Convention" class="body-link css-1dhrel9 emevuu60">Constitutional Convention</a>, Washington was unanimously chosen as president.

He took the oath of office at Federal Hall in New York City, the capital of the United States at the time.</p><p data-journey-content="true" data-node-id="134" class="css-1nd4gv7 emevuu60">As the first president, Washington was astutely aware that his presidency would set a precedent for all that would follow. He carefully attended to the responsibilities and duties of his office, remaining vigilant to not emulate any European royal court. To that end, he preferred the title "Mr. President," instead of more imposing names that were suggested. </p><p data-journey-content="true" data-node-id="135" class="css-1nd4gv7 emevuu60">At first he declined the $25,000 salary Congress offered the office of the presidency, for he was already wealthy and wanted to protect his image as a selfless public servant. However, Congress persuaded him to accept the compensation to avoid giving the impression that only wealthy men could serve as president.</p><p data-journey-content="true" data-node-id="136" class="css-1nd4gv7 emevuu60">Washington proved to be an able administrator. He surrounded himself with some of the most capable people in the country, appointing Hamilton as Secretary of the Treasury and <a href="https://www.biography.com/political-figures/thomas-jefferson" data-vars-ga-outbound-link="https://www.biography.com/political-figures/thomas-jefferson" data-vars-ga-ux-element="Hyperlink" data-vars-ga-call-to-action="Thomas Jefferson" class="body-link css-1dhrel9 emevuu60">Thomas Jefferson</a> as Secretary of State. He delegated authority wisely and consulted regularly with his cabinet listening to their advice before making a decision. </p><p data-journey-content="true" data-node-id="137" class="css-1nd4gv7 emevuu60">Washington established broad-ranging presidential authority, but always with the highest integrity, exercising power with restraint and honesty. In doing so, he set a standard rarely met by his successors, but one that established an ideal by which all are judged.</p><p data-journey-content="true" data-node-id="138" class="css-1nd4gv7 emevuu60"><a href="https://www.biography.com/political-figures/george-washington-character-presidency" data-vars-ga-outbound-link="https://www.biography.com/political-figures/george-washington-character-presidency" data-vars-ga-ux-element="Hyperlink" data-vars-ga-call-to-action="READ MORE: How George Washington’s Personal and Physical Characteristics Helped Him Win the Presidency" class="body-link css-1dhrel9 emevuu60">READ MORE: How George Washington’s Personal and Physical Characteristics Helped Him Win the Presidency</a></p><h2 data-node-id="139" class="css-1aenskv emevuu60">Accomplishments</h2><p data-journey-content="true" data-node-id="140" class="css-1nd4gv7 emevuu60">During his first term, Washington adopted a series of measures proposed by Treasury Secretary Hamilton to reduce the nation's debt and place its finances on sound footing. </p><p data-journey-content="true" data-node-id="141" class="css-1nd4gv7 emevuu60">His administration also established several peace treaties with Native American tribes and approved a bill establishing the nation's capital in a permanent district along the Potomac River. </p><h2 data-node-id="142" class="css-1aenskv emevuu60">Whiskey Rebellion</h2><p data-journey-content="true" data-node-id="143" class="css-1nd4gv7 emevuu60">Then, in 1791, Washington signed a bill authorizing Congress to place a tax on distilled spirits, which stirred protests in rural areas of Pennsylvania.</p><p data-journey-content="true" data-node-id="144" class="css-1nd4gv7 emevuu60">Quickly, the protests turned into a full-scale defiance of federal law known as the <a href="https://www.history.com/topics/early-us/whiskey-rebellion" data-vars-ga-outbound-link="https://www.history.com/topics/early-us/whiskey-rebellion" data-vars-ga-ux-element="Hyperlink" data-vars-ga-call-to-action="Whiskey Rebellion" class="body-link css-1dhrel9 emevuu60">Whiskey Rebellion</a>. Washington invoked the Militia Act of 1792, summoning local militias from several states to put down the rebellion. </p><p data-journey-content="true" data-node-id="145" class="css-1nd4gv7 emevuu60">Washington personally took command, marching the troops into the areas of rebellion and demonstrating that the federal government would use force, when necessary, to enforce the law. This was also the only time a sitting U.S. president has led troops into battle.</p><h2 data-node-id="146" class="css-1aenskv emevuu60">Jay Treaty</h2><p data-journey-content="true" data-node-id="147" class="css-1nd4gv7 emevuu60">In foreign affairs, Washington took a cautious approach, realizing that the weak young nation could not succumb to Europe's political intrigues. In 1793, France and Great Britain were once again at war. </p><p data-journey-content="true" data-node-id="148" class="css-1nd4gv7 emevuu60">At the urging of Hamilton, Washington disregarded the U.S. alliance with France and pursued a course of neutrality. In 1794, he sent <a href="https://www.biography.com/political-figures/john-jay" data-vars-ga-outbound-link="https://www.biography.com/political-figures/john-jay" data-vars-ga-ux-element="Hyperlink" data-vars-ga-call-to-action="John Jay" class="body-link css-1dhrel9 emevuu60">John Jay</a> to Britain to negotiate a treaty (known as the "Jay Treaty") to secure a peace with Britain and clear up some issues held over from the Revolutionary War.</p><p data-journey-content="true" data-node-id="149" class="css-1nd4gv7 emevuu60">The action infuriated Jefferson, who supported the French and felt that the U.S. needed to honor its treaty obligations. Washington was able to mobilize public support for the treaty, which proved decisive in securing ratification in the Senate. </p><p data-journey-content="true" data-node-id="150" class="css-1nd4gv7 emevuu60">Though controversial, the treaty proved beneficial to the United States by removing British forts along the western frontier, establishing a clear boundary between Canada and the United States, and most importantly, delaying a war with Britain and providing over a decade of prosperous trade and development the fledgling country so desperately needed.</p><h2 data-node-id="151" class="css-1aenskv emevuu60">Political Parties</h2><p data-journey-content="true" data-node-id="152" class="css-1nd4gv7 emevuu60">All through his two terms as president, Washington was dismayed at the growing partisanship within the government and the nation. The power bestowed on the federal government by the Constitution made for important decisions, and people joined together to influence those decisions. The formation of political parties at first were influenced more by personality than by issues.</p><p data-journey-content="true" data-node-id="153" class="css-1nd4gv7 emevuu60">As Treasury secretary, Hamilton pushed for a strong national government and an economy built in industry. Secretary of State Jefferson desired to keep government small and center power more at the local level, where citizens' freedom could be better protected. He envisioned an economy based on farming. </p><p data-journey-content="true" data-node-id="154" class="css-1nd4gv7 emevuu60">Those who followed Hamilton's vision took the name Federalists and people who opposed those ideas and tended to lean toward Jefferson’s view began calling themselves Democratic-Republicans. Washington despised political partisanship, believing that ideological differences should never become institutionalized. He strongly felt that political leaders should be free to debate important issues without being bound by party loyalty.</p><p data-journey-content="true" data-node-id="155" class="css-1nd4gv7 emevuu60">However, Washington could do little to slow the development of political parties. The ideals promoted by Hamilton and Jefferson produced a two-party system that proved remarkably durable. These opposing viewpoints represented a continuation of the debate over the proper role of government, a debate that began with the conception of the Constitution and continues today.</p><p data-journey-content="true" data-node-id="156" class="css-1nd4gv7 emevuu60">Washington's administration was not without its critics who questioned what they saw as extravagant conventions in the office of the president. During his two terms, Washington rented the best houses available and was driven in a coach drawn by four horses, with outriders and lackeys in rich uniforms. </p><p data-journey-content="true" data-node-id="157" class="css-1nd4gv7 emevuu60">After being overwhelmed by callers, he announced that except for the scheduled weekly reception open to all, he would only see people by appointment. Washington entertained lavishly, but in private dinners and receptions at invitation only. He was, by some, accused of conducting himself like a king.</p><p data-journey-content="true" data-node-id="158" class="css-1nd4gv7 emevuu60">However, ever mindful his presidency would set the precedent for those to follow, he was careful to avoid the trappings of a monarchy. At public ceremonies, he did not appear in a military uniform or the monarchical robes. Instead, he dressed in a black velvet suit with gold buckles and powdered hair, as was the common custom. His reserved manner was more due to inherent reticence than any excessive sense of dignity.</p><h2 data-node-id="159" class="css-1aenskv emevuu60">Retirement </h2><p data-journey-content="true" data-node-id="160" class="css-1nd4gv7 emevuu60">Desiring to return to Mount Vernon and his farming, and feeling the decline of his physical powers with age, Washington refused to yield to the pressures to serve a third term, even though he would probably not have faced any opposition. </p><p data-journey-content="true" data-node-id="161" class="css-1nd4gv7 emevuu60">By doing this, he was again mindful of the precedent of being the "first president," and chose to establish a peaceful transition of government.</p><h2 data-node-id="162" class="css-1aenskv emevuu60">Farewell Address</h2><p data-journey-content="true" data-node-id="163" class="css-1nd4gv7 emevuu60">In the last months of his presidency, Washington felt he needed to give his country one last measure of himself. With the help of Hamilton, he composed his Farewell Address to the American people, which urged his fellow citizens to cherish the Union and avoid partisanship and permanent foreign alliances. </p><p data-journey-content="true" data-node-id="164" class="css-1nd4gv7 emevuu60">In March 1797, he turned over the government to John Adams and returned to Mount Vernon, determined to live his last years as a simple gentleman farmer. His last official act was to pardon the participants in the Whiskey Rebellion.</p><p data-journey-content="true" data-node-id="165" class="css-1nd4gv7 emevuu60">Upon returning to Mount Vernon in the spring of 1797, Washington felt a reflective sense of relief and accomplishment. He had left the government in capable hands, at peace, its debts well-managed, and set on a course of prosperity. </p><p data-journey-content="true" data-node-id="166" class="css-1nd4gv7 emevuu60">He devoted much of his time to tending the farm's operations and management. Although he was perceived to be wealthy, his land holdings were only marginally profitable.</p><h2 data-node-id="167" class="css-1aenskv emevuu60">Death</h2><p data-journey-content="true" data-node-id="168" class="css-1nd4gv7 emevuu60">On a cold December day in 1799, Washington spent much of it inspecting the farm on horseback in a driving snowstorm. When he returned home, he hastily ate his supper in his wet clothes and then went to bed. </p><p data-journey-content="true" data-node-id="169" class="css-1nd4gv7 emevuu60">The next morning, on December 13, he awoke with a severe sore throat and became increasingly hoarse. He retired early, but awoke around 3 a.m. and told Martha that he felt very sick. The illness progressed until he died late in the evening of December 14, 1799. </p><p data-journey-content="true" data-node-id="170" class="css-1nd4gv7 emevuu60">The news of Washington's death at age 67 spread throughout the country, plunging the nation into a deep mourning. Many towns and cities held mock funerals and presented hundreds of eulogies to honor their fallen hero. When the news of this death reached Europe, the British fleet paid tribute to his memory, and Napoleon ordered ten days of mourning.</p><h2 data-node-id="171" class="css-1aenskv emevuu60">Legacy</h2><p data-journey-content="true" data-node-id="172" class="css-1nd4gv7 emevuu60">Washington could have been a king. Instead, he chose to be a citizen. He set many precedents for the national government and the presidency: The two-term limit in office, only broken once by <a href="https://www.biography.com/political-figures/franklin-d-roosevelt" data-vars-ga-outbound-link="https://www.biography.com/political-figures/franklin-d-roosevelt" data-vars-ga-ux-element="Hyperlink" data-vars-ga-call-to-action="Franklin D.

Roosevelt</a>, was later ensconced in the Constitution's 22nd Amendment. </p><p data-journey-content="true" data-node-id="173" class="css-1nd4gv7 emevuu60">He crystallized the power of the presidency as a part of the government’s <a href="https://www.history.com/topics/us-government/three-branches-of-government" data-vars-ga-outbound-link="https://www.history.com/topics/us-government/three-branches-of-government" data-vars-ga-ux-element="Hyperlink" data-vars-ga-call-to-action="three branches of government" class="body-link css-1dhrel9 emevuu60">three branches of government</a>, able to exercise authority when necessary, but also accept the <a href="https://www.history.com/topics/us-government/checks-and-balances" data-vars-ga-outbound-link="https://www.history.com/topics/us-government/checks-and-balances" data-vars-ga-ux-element="Hyperlink" data-vars-ga-call-to-action="checks and balances" class="body-link css-1dhrel9 emevuu60">checks and balances</a> of power inherent in the system.</p><p data-journey-content="true" data-node-id="174" class="css-1nd4gv7 emevuu60">He was not only considered a military and revolutionary hero, but a man of great personal integrity, with a deep sense of duty, honor and patriotism. For over 200 years, Washington has been acclaimed as indispensable to the success of the Revolution and the birth of the nation. </p><p data-journey-content="true" data-node-id="175" class="css-1nd4gv7 emevuu60">But his most important legacy may be that he insisted he was dispensable, asserting that the cause of liberty was larger than any single individual.</p><p data-journey-content="true" data-node-id="176" class="css-1nd4gv7 emevuu60"><strong><a href="https://www.historyvault.com/collections/biography?cmpid=HV_Bio_George_Washington" rel="nofollow" data-vars-ga-outbound-link="https://www.historyvault.com/collections/biography?cmpid=HV_Bio_George_Washington" data-vars-ga-ux-element="Hyperlink" data-vars-ga-call-to-action="Watch "George Washington: Founding Father" on HISTORY Vault" class="body-link css-1dhrel9 emevuu60">Watch "George Washington: Founding Father" on HISTORY Vault</a></strong></p><section data-embed="body-image" data-lazy-id="P0-10" data-node-id="177" class="embed"><div size="medium" data-embed="body-image" class="align-center size-medium embed css-6i9ia4 e1fodxfw4"><div class="css-uwraif e1fodxfw3"><img alt="Edgar Allan Poe" loading="lazy" width="700" height="200" decoding="async" data-nimg="1" style="color:transparent;width:100%;height:auto;" sizes="100vw" srcset="https://hips.hearstapps.com/hmg-prod/images/editorial-promo-700x200-svod-hvault-topics-biography.jpg?resize=640:* 640w, https://hips.hearstapps.com/hmg-prod/images/editorial-promo-700x200-svod-hvault-topics-biography.jpg?resize=768:* 980w, https://hips.hearstapps.com/hmg-prod/images/editorial-promo-700x200-svod-hvault-topics-biography.jpg?resize=980:* 1120w" src="https://hips.hearstapps.com/hmg-prod/images/editorial-promo-700x200-svod-hvault-topics-biography.jpg?resize=980:*" class="css-0 e193vzwj0"/><div class="css-swqnqv e1fodxfw2"></div></div></div></section><p data-node-id="178" class="css-1nd4gv7 emevuu60"></p><p data-node-id="179" class="css-1nd4gv7 emevuu60"></p><h2 data-node-id="180" class="css-1aenskv emevuu60"></h2><h2 data-node-id="181" class="css-1aenskv emevuu60"></h2><hr data-node-id="182" class="css-18pb4rg emevuu60"/><h1 data-node-id="183">QUICK FACTS</h1><ul data-node-id="184" class="css-1r2vahp emevuu60"><li>Name: George Washington</li><li>Birth Year: 1732</li><li>Birth date: February 22, 1732</li><li>Birth State: Virginia</li><li>Birth City: Westmoreland County</li><li>Birth Country: United States</li><li>Gender: Male</li><li>Best Known For: George Washington, a Founding Father of the United States, led the Continental Army to victory in the Revolutionary War and was America’s first president.</li><li>Industries</li><ul class="css-1r2vahp emevuu60"><li>U.S. Politics</li></ul><li>Astrological Sign: Pisces</li><li>Death Year: 1799</li><li>Death date: December 14, 1799</li><li>Death State: Virginia</li><li>Death City: Mount Vernon</li><li>Death Country: United States</li></ul><h1 data-node-id="185">Fact Check</h1><p data-journey-content="true" data-node-id="186" class="css-1nd4gv7 emevuu60">We strive for accuracy and fairness.If you see something that doesn't look right,<a href="https://www.biography.com/contact-us" data-vars-ga-outbound-link="https://www.biography.com/contact-us" data-vars-ga-ux-element="Hyperlink" data-vars-ga-call-to-action="contact us" class="body-link css-1dhrel9 emevuu60">contact us</a>!</p><p data-node-id="187" class="css-1nd4gv7 emevuu60"></p><h1 data-node-id="188">CITATION INFORMATION</h1><ul data-node-id="189" class="css-1r2vahp emevuu60"><li>Article Title: George Washington Biography</li><li>Author: Biography.com Editors</li><li>Website Name: The Biography.com website</li><li>Url: https://www.biography.com/political-figures/george-washington</li><li>Access Date: </li><li>Publisher: A&E; Television Networks</li><li>Last Updated: September 11, 2020</li><li>Original Published Date: April 3, 2014</li></ul><hr data-node-id="190" class="css-18pb4rg emevuu60"/><h1 data-node-id="191">QUOTES</h1><ul data-node-id="192" class="css-1r2vahp emevuu60"><li>Observe good faith and justice towards all nations; cultivate peace and harmony with all.</li><li>When we assumed the soldier, we did not lay aside the citizen.</li><li>Be courteous to all, but intimate with few.</li><li>[T]he preservation of the sacred fire of liberty, and the destiny of the republican model of government, are justly considered as deeply, perhaps as finally staked, on the experiment entrusted to the hands of the American people.</li><li>We should never despair, our situation before has been unpromising and has changed for the better, so I trust, it will again.
