Devin Rainey B Period ​ ** President George Washington **

Courageous, brave, hardworking, and a great leader; each of these are characteristics of the man who brought America together. This man was George Washington, a man who led men in the revolution, made great decisions in the presidential office, and said many wise quotes.

During the revolution of the United States of America, George Washington lead several groups of rebellions against Britain. He became a respected leader during all the rebellions for his many attacks on Britain’s soldiers. When the time came for a president to be elected, no doubt Washington was picked.

Washington made many great decisions and without those decisions there is a good chance America would have been recaptured by Britain. Washington set many precedents while he was president. He made many treaties with other countries and had good relations with foreign affairs. Also, if he hadn’t proclaimed neutrality in 1793, America would have be torn apart.

Washington once said at his farewell party, “Observe good faith and justice toward all nations… Tis our policy to steer clear of permanent alliances”. To many people this was a guideline for foreign affairs. He said political parties were not something to have and if people had listened than building up America would have gone much smoother. Furthermore, he wanted Hamilton and Jefferson to get along which would have greatly helped the cause against political parties.

America wouldn’t be America without George Washington leading in war, being a good first president, and quoting many famous sayings. Well, now I am going to think about how it would have turned out without George Washington.
