    During the time period of Robber Barons and monopolies, a brilliant inventor created many crucial inventions which most of us use every single day, including peanut butter, soap, and cosmetics as well as technological advances such as crop rotation used by farmers. George Washington Carver could have sought great fortune to his fame, but caring for neither, he found happiness, and honor in being helpful to the world. His numerous contributions to farming, education, and most famously his more than 300 peanut-based products he invented helped improve the quality of life for many people. Many Americans have not even noticed the incredible work of Carver, even though it deserved great attention. Carver’s importance impacted four major areas: being an environmental advocate, a focus on education, supporting the importance of farming,…

    This piece explored avenues related to personal preference and morality; it questioned what a good president meant in the 18th century. I also think this essay is a lot about his character and what made him different than other political powerheads. In the beginning he starts off by stating that even with the great president Washington was, he was voted third in favorite overall president; beaten out by Lincoln and FDR. Washington was known to be a great man focused on his behavior and prided himself on his conscious need to be a gentleman. “He lived his life by the book of gentility” not that of the military. This may be what people’s complaint of Washington was “he was a man of reason who resisted the passions most likely to afflict great men, that is, ambition and avarice.”…
