The Answer is False.
The story about George Washington cutting down his father's cherry tree, and then being unable to lie about it, has persisted throughout history. However, there is no evidence that this ever happened, and researchers have not been able to find any.
A cherry tree It is a story. He did not really cut down a tree.
well its just a story people told : )
The George Washington myth was a story that Parson Locke Weems made up portraying how honest George Washington was. The story involved George chopping down his father's cherry tree as a young boy, his father asks him if he chopped the cherry tree down and George tells him that he "cannot tell a lie."
an apple tree. it didnt take long for George Washington to cut down the cherry tree did it? lol. Yup, but my guess is cherry because more is made from it. Tree roots however - which is less likely to fall is an entirely different story. Apples have less problems.
No he didn't because the story is about George Washington and how he chopped the cherry tree not Abraham Lincoln cutting down an apple tree.
Reportedly, George Washington. The story of George Washington and the cherry tree first appeared in The Life of Washington by Parson Weems (1800) . He attributed it to an old lady who knew Washington when he was a boy. It is almost certainly a fable without any factual basis. (see the links for details on the story)Nonetheless, it has become part of American culture. So much so that hatchets are cherry branches are a widely recognized symbol for Washington's birthday.
George Washington did not chop down a cherry tree or say "I can't tell a lie, Pa". This apocryphal story was created by Mason Locke Weems better known as Parson Weems in A History of the Life and Death, Virtues and Exploits of General George Washington.
The usual story is that it was a cherry tree. However, there's no real evidence that it ever actually happened; it was almost certainly made up afterward.
The famous Cherry tree that is associated with George Washington was supposedly killed by him as a boy. He hit it with his hatchet. It was his father's favorite tree.
Mason Weems apparently fabricated this well-know story about George Washington.
