George Washington
George Washington (February 22, 1732 – December 14, 1799) was an American political leader, military general, statesman, and Founding Father who served as the first President of the United States from 1789 to 1797.
Early Life
Washington was born on February 22, 1732, in Westmoreland County, Virginia. His father, Augustine Washington, was a leading planter in the area and also served as a justice of the county court.
Military Career
Washington's military career began in the French and Indian War with a commission as a major in the militia of the British Province of Virginia. In 1753, Washington was chosen by Robert Dinwiddie, the lieutenant governor, to deliver a message to the French warning them to stop encroaching on British territory.
Presidency
Washington was unanimously elected president by the Electoral College in the first two national elections. He implemented a strong, well-financed national government while remaining impartial in a fierce rivalry between cabinet members Thomas Jefferson and Alexander Hamilton.
Later Life and Death
After his presidency, Washington returned to his plantation, Mount Vernon, and in December 1799, he died of a throat infection.
Legacy
Washington's legacy endures as one of the most influential figures in American history. His leadership has been widely praised by both historians and the public.
