Why didn't Washington have children?

Answer 1

George Washington did not have biological children primarily because he and his wife, Martha Custis, married later in life and did not have children together. Martha had four children from her previous marriage, but they all died young. Washington also faced health challenges and the societal norms of his time, which may have influenced their decision not to have more children. Additionally, his focus on public service and leadership may have contributed to the lack of emphasis on expanding his family.
