George Washington's presidency (1789-1797) was a foundational period for the young United States. Some key events that shaped the nation during his terms are:
The Revolutionary War was the one most people would associate with George Washington. But he also participated in the French and Indian War, fighting with the Virginia Militia in support of the British fighting the French (the opposite scenario occurred 11 years later in the American Revolution).
George Washington (1832-1899) is known in the US as the "Father of Our Country". Washington led the Continental Army as a general in the American Revolution. Afterward he served as president of the Constitutional Convention that established the new system of federal government. Finally, he was elected the first President of the United States. As President, he oversaw the building of the new national capital that today bears his name, Washington, DC.
At the Constitutional Convention of 1787, George Washington was chosen to preside over the proceedings. The convention was one of the greatest events in United States history, because the United States Constitution was created there. The convention had been called under the pretext of revising the Articles of Confederation, but it was determined that an entirely new and thorough document was needed.
During George Washington's presidency, the Supreme Court met for the first time and the Bill of Rights took effect. Other events of his presidency include the New York Stock Exchange was organized, war broke out between France and Britain, and the Whiskey Rebellion took place.
In 1789, the first U.S. Congress convened in New York City until September 29; 28 senators and 65 representatives sat for the 13 states. In 1793, George Washington was inaugurated in Philadelphia for a second term as president of the United States
