(February 22, 1732 – December 14, 1799) was a <a href="/wiki/Founding_Father_of_the_United_States" class="mw-redirect" title="Founding Father of the United States">Founding Father of the United States</a>, military officer, and farmer who served as the first <a href="/wiki/President_of_the_United_States" title="President of the United States">president of the United States</a> from 1789 to 1797. Appointed by the <a href="/wiki/Second_Continental_Congress" title="Second Continental Congress">Second Continental Congress</a> as commander of the <a href="/wiki/Continental_Army" title="Continental Army">Continental Army</a> in 1775, Washington led <a href="/wiki/Patriot_(American_Revolution)" title="Patriot (American Revolution)">Patriot</a> forces to victory in the <a href="/wiki/American_Revolutionary_War" title="American Revolutionary War">American Revolutionary War</a>. He then served as president of the <a href="/wiki/Constitutional_Convention_(United_States)" title="Constitutional Convention (United States)">Constitutional Convention</a> in 1787, which drafted the current <a href="/wiki/Constitution_of_the_United_States" title="Constitution of the United States">Constitution of the United States</a>. Washington has thus become commonly known as the "<a href="/wiki/Father_of_the_Nation" title="Father of the Nation">Father of his Country</a>". Washington's first public office, from 1749 to 1750, was as <a href="/wiki/Surveyor" class="mw-redirect" title="Surveyor">surveyor</a> of <a href="/wiki/Culpeper_County,_Virginia" title="Culpeper County, Virginia">Culpeper County</a> in the <a href="/wiki/Colony_of_Virginia" title="Colony of Virginia">Colony of Virginia</a>. In 1752, he received military training and was granted the rank of major in the <a href="/wiki/Virginia_Regiment" title="Virginia Regiment">Virginia Regiment</a>. During the <a href="/wiki/French_and_Indian_War" title="French and Indian War">French and Indian War</a>, Washington was promoted to lieutenant colonel in 1754 and subsequently became head of the Virginia Regiment in 1755. He was later elected to the <a href="/wiki/Virginia_House_of_Burgesses" class="mw-redirect" title="Virginia House of Burgesses">Virginia House of Burgesses</a> and was named a delegate to the Continental Congress in Philadelphia, which appointed him <a href="/wiki/Commanding_General_of_the_United_States_Army" title="Commanding General of the United States Army">commander-in-chief of the Continental Army</a>. Washington led American forces to a decisive victory over the <a href="/wiki/British_Army_during_the_American_Revolutionary_War" title="British Army during the American Revolutionary War">British in the Revolutionary War</a>, leading the British to sign the <a href="/wiki/Treaty_of_Paris_(1783)" title="Treaty of Paris (1783)">Treaty of Paris</a>, which acknowledged the sovereignty and independence of the United States. He <a href="/wiki/George_Washington%27s_resignation_as_commander-in-chief" title="George Washington's resignation as commander-in-chief">resigned his commission</a> in 1783 after the conclusion of the Revolutionary War. Washington played an indispensable role in the drafting of the Constitution, which replaced the <a href="/wiki/Articles_of_Confederation" title="Articles of Confederation">Articles of Confederation</a> in 1789. He was then twice elected president unanimously by the <a href="/wiki/United_States_Electoral_College" title="United States Electoral College">Electoral College</a> in 1788 and 1792. As the first U.S. president, Washington implemented a strong, well-financed national government while remaining impartial in a fierce rivalry that emerged between cabinet members <a href="/wiki/Thomas_Jefferson" title="Thomas Jefferson">Thomas Jefferson</a> and <a href="/wiki/Alexander_Hamilton" title="Alexander Hamilton">Alexander Hamilton</a>. During the <a href="/wiki/French_Revolution" title="French Revolution">French Revolution</a>, he proclaimed <a href="/wiki/Proclamation_of_Neutrality" title="Proclamation of Neutrality">a policy of neutrality</a> while additionally sanctioning the <a href="/wiki/Jay_Treaty" title="Jay Treaty">Jay Treaty</a>. He set enduring precedents for the <a href="/wiki/Executive_Office_of_the_President_of_the_United_States" title="Executive Office of the President of the United States">office of president</a>, including <a href="/wiki/Republicanism_in_the_United_States" title="Republicanism in the United States">republicanism</a>, a <a href="/wiki/Peaceful_transfer_of_power" class="mw-redirect" title="Peaceful transfer of power">peaceful transfer of power</a>, the use of the title "<a href="/wiki/President_(government_title)#United_States" title="President (government title)">Mr. President</a>", and the <a href="/wiki/Twenty-second_Amendment_to_the_United_States_Constitution#Background" title="Twenty-second Amendment to the United States Constitution">two-term tradition</a>. His 1796 <a href="/wiki/George_Washington%27s_Farewell_Address" title="George Washington's Farewell Address">farewell address</a> became a preeminent statement on republicanism in which he wrote about the importance of national unity and the dangers that regionalism, partisanship, and foreign influence pose to it. As a planter of tobacco and wheat, <a href="/wiki/George_Washington_and_slavery" title="George Washington and slavery">Washington owned many slaves</a>.
