George Washington

When George Washington was inaugurated for his first term as president in 1789, he had only one natural tooth remaining and was wearing his first full set of dentures made by John Greenwood. Previously he had had partial dentures which were held in place by hooking them around the remaining teeth. The Greenwood dentures had a base of hippopotamus ivory carved to fit the gums. The upper denture had ivory teeth and the lower plate consisted of eight human teeth fastened by gold pivots that screwed into the base. The set was secured in his mouth by spiral springs.http://www.americanrevolution.org/dental.html

During World War 1 the Army needed planes and The Boeing company offered to make them. The army put in a order for 90 planes which started Mr. Boeings plane buidling business. Becuase of this it caused a influx in jobs allowing more people to work.

The population of Washington state is 6.897-million. The capital of Washington, Olympia, has 48,338 residents. Bellvue, in King County, is the most-populated city in Washington state with 133,992 residents.

There is the Washington Monument, in Washington, DC. It is a beautiful obelisk made from blocks of marble.

No, it's a "territory". It is controlled by two levels of government (the US Federal Government and the city authorities), pays taxes, has Federal Courts and citizens of the city are US Citizens. It is not represented in Congress; it sends delegates to Congress but they can't vote on new laws. Citizens can vote in Presidential Elections; the district is entitled to 3 electors.

The changes that Martin made was really how they dressed. He met them in the cavern and seen how they dressed. The Beatles started out wearing "Elvis" types of clothes(since that was there idol). Martin talked them into wear nice suits.-hope this helps :)

As the American Revolutionary top general, George Washington a number of obstacles before him. His militia type army was not a trained and powerful force that the soldiers of Great Britain were. Additionally, Great Britain had use of the best navy in the world at that time. Troop-wise Great Britain could place many more soldiers in the field than could George Washington.

As Commander-in-Chief under the US Constitution, it is possible, but unlikely, that the President would directly lead military forces. The only time that this has occurred was in 1794 during the Whiskey Rebellion (1791-1794), when George Washington led state militias to quell the civilian uprising in Pennsylvania. This army never engaged in actual combat under Washington.

Abolitionists

Yes, I think that his false teeth were made of bones and teeth from animals such as the hippo. I think hippo ivory is more likely than hippo bone.

Nothing, George Washington died over 60 years before the Civil War.

George Washington did not sign the Declaration of Independence. Representatives from all thirteen original colonies signed it, George Washington was not one of them. Some of the more well known men that did sign it was, Thomas Jefferson (Virginia) and John Hancock (Massachusetts, and Hancock was the first signature on the Declaration!) Benjamin Franklin also signed it (Pennsylvania).

The alliance of Native Americans in the area with France.

George Washington set this precedent when he refused to run for a third term despite encouragement from many to do so.

do you know how everyone was all happy to be free... well g.w.(george) made the mistake of owning slaves (prob against the law) when every one was against it......... he made no attempt to stop it because he "needed" his slaves to help him on his WHISKY distillery... WOW they even had a massacre about that :o wowzas

hope I answered your question :) :) :)

After the French and Indian war the colonies were taxed because of the money spent by England. Some of these taxes included the stamp act. This eventually started the American Revolution.

No president decided the capital would be Washington D.C. The Constitution provides for a federally administrated territory for the federal government. So the delegates to the Constitutional Convention decided the capital would be Washington D.C.

George Washington gave his love, patriotism, and devotion to the the country in which he served. He began his service to America by becoming official surveyor for Culpepper County, Virginia.

As the period of the American Revolutionary War drew near. Washington, commanded Virginia's frontier troops, as a colonel, from 1755-1758. In 1774, he was an elected delegate to the First Continental Congress. Then, in 1775, Washington was elected as a delegate to the Second Continental Congress.

On June 15, 1775, George Washington was elected as commander in chief of the Continental Army. Washington and his men won the last major battle of the Revolutionary War on October 19, 1781. This was the Battle of Yorktown, in which the British commander Cornwallis, and his troops surrendered to George Washington. It was this battle, that officially ended the American Revolutionary War.

Then, on May 25, 1787, George Washington was elected the president of the Constitutional Convention. Washington would be elected as the first President of the United States in 1789, and reelected to a second term in 1792. On September 19, 1796, George Washington published his Farewell Address, refusing a third term.

On July 4, 1798, Washington was commissioned lieutenant general and commander in chief of the new United States Army. It would be a short-lived honor, for George Washington would die on December 14, 1799.

Yes, very true

he believed only government had real security for all important rights

Washington was definitely a hero. He commanded the colonial army which was much more difficult than just making military strategy. He had to constantly work to keep his men together and to get his army supplied. The colonies had little taxing power and little money and did not always send their share of supplies. The men volunteered for a fixed period of time and often left the army once their hitch was up. He had few regulars. Mostly he had to train farmers to be soldiers. He had to personally inspire them to serve. After he won the war, he was a leader in setting up the new government and served as its first president. However, even though he might have served much longer, he stepped down after two terms because that was the plan of the new government- to abolish the office of king. A lesser man might have given up on the war and if he won, he might have made himself dictator as have so many leaders of other countries.

Independence from taxation without representation for the 13 colonies
