You people are ridiculous! So George Washington had slaves, was it wrong? Of course, does that mean that everything he did should be discredited? Should we not thank and honor him for all the good he did? And learn your history, George Washington and a few other founding fathers were gonna free black men in the constitution, but they needed all delegates to sign in order for it to be official and the southern delegates refused. So they had to pass it anyway. Gosh people are so close minded.
It is sad that most people think they know the truth without ever actually looking it up. All opinion based immature thoughts. Washington had slaves yes but, also it was law that you could not just set them free. He never bought a slave and did not treat them badly. Before you think you can judge you better know facts and opinions are two different things. The Indians even had a prophecy about him look it up FACTS are TRUTH and some people need to learn this.

Washington started the first Global war, It was Washington in British uniforms who attacked the French and world war started. North America and other parts of the world end up in British lands. Washington then united the Colonial immigrants against the British taxes and American Natives and started the US-Revolution. Colonial-Franco Alliance defeats the British Force in 13 Colonies and British Goverment agrees independence the birth of the United States and end of the American Natives.

Washington orchestrated the biggest land grab in US history--the North American continent. He was a surveyor, he knew what he was up to. He was also a lousy military commander and a clutz--he started the French and Indian War. And he grew pot, had slaves, never went to school and was a social climber. He didn't chop down a cherry tree--that's a story. He let his troops suffer at Valley Forge while he was living in a house. So what was he really like?
Saying Washington was a good general is like saying Hitler was a kind leader. Washington sucked major balls as far as military goes. He was an excellent leader of men. A great politician. But a good general? You must be kidding yourselves. He lost nearly every battle he fought. If the French hadn't of turned up, he would have been exterminated. Praise his wise leadership in peace time, not his military skills, which are nonexistant.
He was the greatest hero this country ever had. Not an intellectual on Jeffersons level but he had intelligent advice for this country. He knew political parties would be a burden to this country and he wanted a restrained foreign policy he knew if we entangled in foreign affairs it would be problematic for the country (this does not mean don't trade with anybody just don't go looking for trouble).
Imagine if a politician like George Washington came along today, he is a man who doesn't lie and who's respectable, would we really embrace him? No. We would throw him to the side like garbage.

Cannabis (Cán-na-bis; English pronunciation: /ˈkænəbɪs/) is a genus of flowering plants that includes three putative species, Cannabis sativa,[1] Cannabis indica,[1] and Cannabis ruderalis. These three taxa are indigenous to Central Asia, and South Asia. [2] Cannabis has long been used for fibre (hemp), for seed and seed oils, for medicinal purposes, and as a recreational drug. Industrial hemp products are made from Cannabis plants selected to produce an abundance of fiber

@tylerjl101 does that excuse the fact that he had slaves? he could have abolished it but he didn't? slavery is deeper than just on the surface. think about it
Congress assigned George Washington great power and influence as the first American president. That's because they knew him well and they trusted him deeply. As a humble public servant who consistently put the needs of his nation above his own needs, he instilled confidence in his ability to lead his nation fairly without resorting to abuse of power many monarchs have shown.
Today's presidents, however, haven't earned this reputation. We need to curb their power through more checks and balances.
I bet in American schools they don't teach that Washington was a shit general and he repeatedly got his ass kicked until France rescued his armies. A great leader of men- not a great general. Get the facts right.
George Washington was a great leader because he put the needs of his nation above the needs of himself. He was a true public servant, the best kind of leader.
look on you tube the video john hanson the real first black president he was the first one out of those 7 you acknowledge that came before washington the footage is 4:45 peep out the facts
no your confused all people that might have been put in office was bitches and ran because there was a war going on and john hanson stood there like a man peep this give credit where credit is due dont be a hater like his story books
@rapper255 Washington was the first president under the constitution, the first 7 were forgotten because the articles of confederation didn't work. and he was white. the picture of the black man was actually John Hanson of Liberia not america. plus photography wasn't invented yet so that pic of John Hanson is impossible for that time period.
Washington was a mediocre general, now if you tell me about real and very good militars of the Americas they were Simon Bolivar and Jose de San Martin, the best Americans generals were Macarthur and Einsenhower.
Arguably, the most critical event in US. history was when Washington handed over the power of the presidency to Adams at the end of his two terms. Many believed he would not, because it had not yet happened that someone in power relinquished it voluntarily. George III of Britain, when he found out this was about to happen, said (paraphrased) that if Washington allowed Adams to succeed him he would be recognized as the greatest person in the history of the world, which he subsequently was.
Ime british and i love america if i was american i would the british out ime proud of britian and its empire but you wanted independednce so much you were willing to fight for it
If the British had given him the commission he so desperately wanted, he would have become part the British establishment and would have remained loyal to the crown..........Funny how a small quirk of fate changes the entire history of the world.
I say this as a friend, you shold read up on George Washington, his plans of attack is a far cry from cowardly. He spent hours and hours planning each move, and spent hours praying to God. A handfull of brave people went toe to toe with a mighty army
I don't understand why people keep forgetting that all of the 13 original states in America were BRITISH. It was a British colony and all the citizens were British subjects. This is no small detail. The founding fathers were genetically English and culturally, very English as well. There were German & Irish settlements around and in the south, a strong Scotts-Irish population and ALL were British subjects. This shows how completely taken for granted independence & the courage of the founders is.
@stellalouise1 Does that really matter in the end? The whole purpose and point of the United States, was the simple fact that colonies of Britain thousand miles away wanted to govern themselves in their own way. When they were told this wasn't permissible and even threatened to end their way of life, this is when America was born. George realized the king didn't care for his people, nor did the people care for their old king. If you have a tyrannical, absolute leader, you would want change too.
@rakuencallisto I never meant to suggest that the colonists should not have fought for their independence. I merely wanted to highlight the fact that there were no "Americans" because everyone here was a British Subject with most having British ancestory and a very British way of life & culture. I think this underscores the courage it took to participate in the rebellion, especially the leaders. I think this courage is often underemphasized, if not overlooked. It was not a mob rebellion.
Good thing George Washington never had the opportunity to get educated in England. As a result he had the wits to out smart them. Of course, he had Ben Franklin and Thomas Jefferson as allies.
George is a hero ... he killed natives, enslaved africans, defeated the British, refused to be Canadian, and he wasn't Jewish or Muslim (he was a Free Mason)...this qualifies him for hero status.
@invalid000able Well, we are lucky these liberal media don't actually call him a traitor, or a "slave owning devil" or something of a sort. These are the days for "revisionist" history, meaning, everything is revised to suit the current PC political atmosphere. But good old George, like the country he helped create, will endure this misguide wave....
@catclaw357 Of course young officers will funk up a panic, and pain more gain. Even the young French officer Napoleon Bonaparte had his anger enraged by some losses before power, but you and I know course, more or less weren’t there; sense tells Napoleon was inspired by Washington’s leadership, infact many of his art shows a similar mimic. France, already warred with the UK in India before the F&I War . Folks admired George more & he infact never wanted office.
George washington was a serial murderer. First he was paid by the british to murder and he did... natives, colonists, he didnt care. Then he was a colonist tool and murdered more natives and now murdered the british for money. Then the great george become president and still murdered natives and also murdered Pennsylvanians during whiskey rebellion. George was a hitman for hire... that's it.
british officer,his grandparents were british,then betrayed his british brothers to our greatest enemy the french,treason:O( the usa didnt like paying taxes,do you think they were the only ones who had to pay that?britains had too pay it to king george too
Yes, this is the difference of personalities among people and races. That is also what I think motivated British men fighting all around the world cause they see realistic things better than their own lives, worth to fighting. But not think too much of their own lives. So, if a woman rich, will be easily buy a better man, such as, I learned Shakespeare also married with a rich woman who is older him more than 10. In our culture, ppl do not think and do so, consider more fear death so no fighting

yeah but in return he got quite a few bob and a lot of land + he didn't see them most of the time because he was off fighting
I'd agree he is brave but kind??? nah i don't think so--in our culture, taking widows is not a lucky thing to do. Finally we see, he did not passed away in war, but at home ahead of his wife. :( This is what I mean. We should know this, I also do not care money and land a lot, but my own happiness with the ppl I loved of course, first, need to select the best ones. :)
@Horne271 yeah but the monarchy is a completely un relevant thing now of days, When was the last time you heard the queen dishing out orders to go to wars. Tony blair , Gordon brown and Cameron are in control of that aswell as parliaments decision on if they agree or what.. In fact the queen and royal family are just a tourist trap to lure them into something old and not seen often. Many gullible people flock to britain just to get a glimpse of the palace but all in all it's just a scam
So explain to me why your idol "Glenn Beck" conveniently ignores the Whiskey Rebellion? Or is the "Whiskey Rebellion" merely an Academic Elitist's made up story to make all the socialist anti-americans in the world unite?
So explain to me why your idol "Glenn Beck" conveniently ignores the Whiskey Rebellion? Or is the "Whiskey Rebellion" merely an Academic Elitist's made up story to make all the socialist anti-americans in the world unite?
George Washington conservative? If he was conservative, he'd be a Tory. By the way, he sent US Militiamen to put down a revolt by anti-tax protestors in Pennsylvania. So what the fuck?
@Rac665 Do you realize what a conservative is? A conservative is someone to wishes to conserve the founding principles and traditional practices of a culture. George Washington was the most significant man whom founded the very principles that conservatives wish to conserve. With that in mind, how could Washington have possibly been anything but a conservative?
Uh, i think your confused buddy. "A conservative is someone to wishes to conserve the founding principles and traditional practices of a culture". That would mean he would want to conserve the founding principles of the English at the time, considering he was 4th Gen Virginian, compared to Jefferson who's family went all the way back to Jamestown.
Do you realize how you just proved yourself wrong?: "George Washington was the most significant man whom founded the very principles"
If a " A Conservative is someone who wishes to conserve the "Founding" principles and traditional practices of a culture", then what culture are you speaking of? He was 4th Generation Virginian, his family being new to the Americas compared with the other families at the time. So what culture are you speaking of.
@Rac665 May I also remind you that Washington was a capitalist, a very successful capitalist at that. Washington owned thousands of acres of rich property for the purpose of building capital- something todays liberals would be outraged by.
Now here is where you proved yourself wrong: if a Conservative is someone who wishes to conserve the founding principles...yet you say: "George Washington was the most significant man whom founded the very principles...", that would imply that Washington's "principles" were not existent prior to him. The word "Founding" meaning an idea did not exist yet but was subsequently created. If a conservative wishes to CONSERVE the status quo, yet Washington FOUNDED principles....
Then my friend, you are saying Washington is a REVOLUTIONARY, a LIBERAL.
But he wasn't Conservative and he wasn't Revolutionary. He was just him. He never "FOUND" any principles, he was a moderate. He was just a General, who did not want the Presidency. He got caught him in the war, and decided to fight for Virginia. That's all. As for being Capitalist, then to each his own, good for him , at the time there was no anti-"Capitalism" as Communism did not exist.
lastly, you do realize that Washington mobilized american militiamen to fight under the federal government in response to anti-tax protestors. its called the WHISKY REBELLION. Something most tea-baggers would be outraged today. If Obama did that, they would kill him. If Washington were alive today and he did that, they would call him a "Socialist" and kill him.
@Rac665 It's Tea Party (not tea bagger). Washington was trying to form a new Nation. A Governing body that had never before been tried. It was no longer taxation without representation. Obama is trying to tear down that principle. Obama must know something that Ben Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, George Washington, James Madison, John Adams, James Monroe, Henry Knox, Button Gwinnett, and Alexander Hamilton didn't know. I suppose we all now know what his (Obama) famous cry of CHANGE meant.
Curt, simple as this: Washington used a militia to put down an Anti-Tax protest in Pennsylvania. STATE militia, under the control of the federal government. State rights right? Im sure Washington was a good man, he had principles, but he isn't fucking Jesus, or god like everyone puts him up to be. Obama hasn't done that, and if he did, you guys would probably get violent against him. Simple...I thought you tea-baggers were anti-fed.
@Rac665 Yeah attack the Father of our Country; he was a man yes, had all the flaws of men, yes...but he sacrificed his liberty for the American cause, he sacrificed his retirement for the American Republic, he inspired the colonies to unity, and he stepped down from power after eight years and turned down the crown. This is a true hero and a true Father to our country - similar to Lincoln, who saved the Union Washington loved - ie. the Federal Union and Government of by for the people.
@northmeister I might add to my statement that the Tea Party has the right heart but the wrong principles. Just read Washington, Hamilton, and many of our forefathers (including Jefferson for balance and his later statements on trade n markets) and their principles are contrary to the confederacy principles the conservative movement holds: free trade, free markets, enslavement to security n loss of liberty thus, anti-government. They create the post office and would have a health service. :)

Obama is trying to ruin the country that George Washington founded,Obama is the worst President??? Americans are so pathetic and kvetching people. Don't even respond to me, i want to regurgitate thinking about how dumb Americans are. My god!!
@hounddog39 I am an American and Washington is a hero of mine but he was a born a British subject and remained one until the Revolution. He was, like all the founding fathers, very British. His older brothers were educated in England (his father died before he could go and he felt a bit "less than" the rest of his life). British society, customs, ideals and yes, class system were very strong in Washington's Virginia. Apparently, it takes Brit to defeat a Brit! ;-)
@charlieiscool1000 He was born in Virginia, a state in a British colony. There was no United States, there were states in a British colony. All "Americans" were British subjects, no matter where their ancestors came from. All the rebels were "traitors to their own country (England)" and the leaders of the rebellion would have been dealt with accordingly had Washington not lead them to victory. They all put their lives on the line in joining this rebellion against their government and king.

Congress assigned George Washington great power and influence as the first American president. That's because they knew him well and they trusted him deeply. As a humble public servant who consistently put the needs of his nation above his own needs, he instilled confidence in his ability to lead his nation fairly without resorting to abuse of power many monarchs have shown.
Today's presidents, however, haven't earned this reputation. We need to curb their power through more checks and balances.

Arguably, the most critical event in US. history was when Washington handed over the power of the presidency to Adams at the end of his two terms. Many believed he would not, because it had not yet happened that someone in power relinquished it voluntarily. George III of Britain, when he found out this was about to happen, said (paraphrased) that if Washington allowed Adams to succeed him he would be recognized as the greatest person in the history of the world, which he subsequently was.

I don't understand why people keep forgetting that all of the 13 original states in America were BRITISH. It was a British colony and all the citizens were British subjects. This is no small detail. The founding fathers were genetically English and culturally, very English as well. There were German & Irish settlements around and in the south, a strong Scotts-Irish population and ALL were British subjects. This shows how completely taken for granted independence & the courage of the founders is.
stellalouise1 8 months ago
@stellalouise1 Does that really matter in the end? The whole purpose and point of the United States, was the simple fact that colonies of Britain thousand miles away wanted to govern themselves in their own way. When they were told this wasn't permissible and even threatened to end their way of life, this is when America was born. George realized the king didn't care for his people, nor did the people care for their old king. If you have a tyrannical, absolute leader, you would want change too.
rakuencallisto 7 months ago
@rakuencallisto I never meant to suggest that the colonists should not have fought for their independence. I merely wanted to highlight the fact that there were no "Americans" because everyone here was a British Subject with most having British ancestory and a very British way of life & culture. I think this underscores the courage it took to participate in the rebellion, especially the leaders. I think this courage is often underemphasized, if not overlooked. It was not a mob rebellion.

Good thing George Washington never had the opportunity to get educated in England. As a result he had the wits to out smart them. Of course, he had Ben Franklin and Thomas Jefferson as allies.
George is a hero ... he killed natives, enslaved africans, defeated the British, refused to be Canadian, and he wasn't Jewish or Muslim (he was a Free Mason)...this qualifies him for hero status.

Yes, this is the difference of personalities among people and races. That is also what I think motivated British men fighting all around the world cause they see realistic things better than their own lives, worth to fighting. But not think too much of their own lives. So, if a woman rich, will be easily buy a better man, such as, I learned Shakespeare also married with a rich woman who is older him more than 10.

But he wasn't Conservative and he wasn't Revolutionary. He was just him. He never "FOUND" any principles, he was a moderate. He was just a General, who did not want the Presidency. He got caught him in the war, and decided to fight for Virginia. That's all. As for being Capitalist, then to each his own, good for him , at the time there was no anti-"Capitalism" as Communism did not exist.
