George and the cherry tree
George Washington by almost all historians' accounts was a very good President. His major drawback was that he was a slave owner. He did, however free and provide money and education to the slaves which he owned, in his will. No other slave owner President ever did that again.
This is the told story of George Washington and the cherry tree. George Washington was a good little boy. One day, his father got him an ax as a present. George Washington's dad had a big orchard, and just planted a baby cherry tree. "This cherry tree will bloom in the spring, and will grow cherries in the fall" said his father proudly. George was so happy to have his ax that he chopped down the cherry tree! His father was so sad when he saw his broken cherry tree. He didn't know who did it, so he said that anyone who did this will get punished. Finally, George decided to tell his father the truth. So he did, and his father said to him " Oh, George. You could of just said so. I'm not mad at you. You told the truth, and that's all that matters. I forgive you, George, because you didn't know." and so, he took George in his arms and gave him a good hug.
George Washington, being the top commander of American Revolutionary troops, and the first US President, is a great resume in itself. He, however, did not fight in the US Civil War. Washington died in 1799.
"The Father of our Country".George Washington was known as The Father of his country.
He didn't propose anyone. He didn't have to. Washington came to congress in a tailor made uniform with brass buttons and gold epithets. He told congress he was the only person who could command the army since he had experience in the French and Indian war as a British officer.

No, George Washington ran unopposed in both of his presidential elections.
Yes. His wife was Martha Dandridge Custis
No George and his family left before anyone got ill.
Martha did not play an active role in political affairs. I think she generally liked what George did and if she did not, she did not complain to anyone else but maybe George.
No. Not that I or anyone i know is aware of. Simply unheard of until now.
George Washington D. C.
NO-- Washington died long before anyone even thought of the Confederate States.
