Where does the legend of George Washington chopping down a cherry tree come from?

The legend of George Washington chopping down a Cherry Tree, is indeed an allegorical story, something that Freemasons and other elite secret societies have kept to themselves, and have especially kept from Moorish (so called Black/African American) people. It's an ancient legend that stems from Moorish History, and the secret relationship between the 13 so called American colonies and the Moroccan Empire. The nickname of the Moorish National Flag, that most Americans would call the Moroccan Flag, is the "Cherry-Tree", because of it's red & green colors, and because we as Mighty Moors, like our flag, stands tall. General Washington, chopping down this cherry tree, represents him breaking the Treaty of Peace & Friendship between the American colonist and the Sultan of Morocco and the enslavement of so called African human resources, the defeat of the Moors.
