    George Washington (1732-99) was commander in chief of the Continental Army during the American Revolutionary War (1775-83) and served two terms as the first U.S. president, from 1789 to 1797. The son of a prosperous planter, Washington was raised in colonial Virginia. As a young man, he worked as a surveyor then fought in the French and Indian War (1754-63). During the American Revolution, he led the colonial forces to victory over the British and became a national hero. In 1787, he was elected president of the convention that wrote the U.S. Constitution. Two years later, Washington became America's first president. Realizing that the way he handled the job would impact how future presidents approached the position, he handed down a legacy of strength, integrity and national purpose. Less than three years after leaving office, he died at his Virginia plantation, Mount Vernon, at age 67.…

    Very outstanding and influential, Abraham Lincoln had a divine gift of leadership, which he adequately exploited in the nation’s politic issues. Like every great leader, Lincoln comprehended people-characters, talents, desires, etc., in a distinct way, so he was able to communicate with people who supported him or even opposed him successfully and let them function in the nation. Elected to be the President of the United States, Lincoln started constructing his cabinet on his election night. Surprised to many people, Lincoln offered William Seward, a strong-minded republican who had been his main political rival, the position of the Secretary of State because Seward was radical on slavery issue and later considered as a centrist, one who supported…

    Benjamin Franklin and Booker T. Washington were both American personalities that assumed great importance in the history of the United States. Franklin was born in 1706, in Boston, to an English father and an American mother. Washington, on the other hand, having a family history of slaves, did not know his origins or anything about his ancestries. As the author himself says in his autobiography, “My life had its beginning in the midst of the most miserable, desolate, and discouraging surroundings.” (Washington, p.15). He only knew his mother, a brother and a sister and he did not even know the time or the place of his birth. In spite of some significant differences in their early lives and, after, along their trajectories, Benjamin Franklin and…

    Today Americans view Christopher Columbus and George Washington as heros and founders of the United States of America. I am going to start with George Washington because he was my favorite. Geroge Washington was our first president of the United States of America. He was born February 22, 1732, in Pope’s Creek, Virginia. He had equivelant of an elementary school education. Even though he didn’t have much of an education he still became the first president and led our nation for eight years in the White House. As he became known as the president, the citizens gave him a nickname and that nickname was “ Father of his Country.” Before he became our President he was a planter and he served in the military. George Washington’s religion was Episcopalian, which refers to government by bishops. He was also an federalist in the politcal parties. Going back to George washington’s president roll, he was also criticizied qiute a bit, including some of the other members of the founding generations, because he took ownership of slaves. At one time he thought about signing a law that had the plan to get rid of slavery, but he backed out from putting it in order by looking to legislative authority for its conception and execution. Even though he gave a lot and provided generously for his slaves in his will, when he passed away, he didn’t every free them in his lifetime. Other than that, he was liked by people for his duties and by leading our nation. George Washington relied on the department heads for advice, similar to his war council during the revolution. His reliance on the department heads set a precedent for adding the cabinet as a part of the President’s office, which helped a lot. But, since Congress didn’t challenge President Washington’s appointment or removal of appointees, so the tradition was kept to alow the President to be able to choose his or her own staff in the cabinet. By President Washington’s actions and words, he also set the standards for two…

    Most people believe that George Washington was the very first President of the United States. On the contrary to that belief I feel inclined to inform you, that George Washington was definitely not the first President of America. During the American Revolution the U.S Congress appointed Peyton Randolph to be President over America at that time, and we all know that George Washington was serving as a Major General. Regarding this information, Mathew Santoro sheds some light on the topic: "He [George Washington] became America's first popularly elected President, first President under the New Constitution. Yes. But in actuality was the 15th President to lead the United States." Though George Washington was not the first…
