George Washington

She didn't make the flag. This is a story made up by her grandson. A man by the name of Francis Hopkins in 1776 was commissioned to make a flag for the navy. Congress has recongnized Hopkins for making the flag.

Was the battle which maney people thing saratogo was the turning point it was this one that inspired people to fight and show how good Washington was.

His early life as a kid because his parents worked him all day.

France felt that The Enemy of My Enemy is My Friend. Any damage or inconvenience to the United Kingdom was worth a few million dollars worth of artillery, shot and shells, gunpowder and muskets given to the Continental Army as military assistance.

The colonist's side, or the American side if you prefer to call it that.

No. Washington DC was founded as a federal district from land ceded by the State of Maryland and the Commonwealth of Virginia (although the Virginia land was eventually retroceded back to the Commonwealth).

George Washington was buried at his estate on Mt. Vernon. Today, you can go and visit the estate as part of a tour. His first tomb was down by the Potomac, but was moved up for security reasons in 1831 , after a grave-robbing attempt.

Franklin D. Roosevelt was the first president to serve three terms.

George Washington crossed the Delaware River during the Revolutionary War. He knew the German Mercenaries would be drunk on Christmas Day. Washington arrived with the sober American Army and captured the drunk German Army.

Disease and starvation were constant problems for the Continental Army, as was poor hygiene. Many officers were without shoes or proper garments, and were subject to diseases caused by poor living conditions. A bought of Small Pox seized the camp at Valley Forge midway through the Continental Army's winter there, but General George Washington proposed the first inoculation to counter the disease's effects.

Mount Vernon was George Washington's home. It was built an a hill overlooking the Potomac River in Virginia. Mount Vernon includes this mansion and about 15 smaller buildings. Nearly everything Washington's family needed was grown or made at Mount Vernon.

If the colonists had not stood up for what they beleived was their fundamental right to abolish taxation without representation, and had the libertarians and extreme democratic leaders did not stand in the face of Imperial Britannia and the sovereign king by, for example, dumping taxed tea into the water, America would have simply become another British colony. The thirteen colonies would most likely have been turned into one of many satellite british colonies, and the rest of the land would be relatively open. After all, it was after the revolution that many of our presidents and leaders strongly encouraged traveling east to explore the land. If they had not, the French, Spanish, and Native Americans would still have their settlements, and who knows what would have transpired. The point is this: the colonies were okay with Britain and in line with the king. But when they felt that not only were they being treated unfairly and taxed more than any other british colony, but also that they were not even supported or represented in the British parliament, they decided the Brits really did not care about them or their situation and decided to do something about it. If they had not, they would have been mistreted till every cent was drained from those colonies, and then it would have been on to the next. The brits refused to permit any colony representation in the government, let alone hear their pleas from 3,000 miles away. How would you feel if you were off making a living and happy as a hotel owner on a private island catering to celebrities, raking in the millions and helping the indigenous people in the area, only to find that some conceited stranger across the pond wants not just a piece, but a HUGE HANDFUL of what you worked hard to earn? I think it was this instinctive "fighting for your keep" that sparked the revolution, and without it America would not exist. In the end it became "fighting for what is right", but it's not how it started.

The encampment Washinton and his forces stayed at during the winter of 1777 was Valley Forge. Valley Forge is known as a plave that was most likely the worst for the soldiers. Over 2,000 men were unfit for duty because of lack of shoes, cloths, illnesses and etc. They suffered from things like lice and Typhoid fevere. However, Valley Forge was where Washingtion took steps to motivate his troops by reading The Crisis by Thomas Paine aloud... "These are the times that try men's souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands by it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman."

George Washington won the Battles of Trenton and Princeton.

HE was a great leader in all his work. He was well known and loved by most people. They thought that it would be good to have that figure as the leader.

George Washington

Actually, he was a very unsuccesful general, and people didn't feel very good about him, but he proved himself useful, when he attacked the British on Christmas. The British wasn't ready for this, and were powned by him.

George Washington was most known for being the first president. More than half of the people out in the world somewhere wont even get the chance to be a president. So image being the first one. It would be so exciting. He was also known for writing the Constitution.

George Washington (1732-1799) was the son of Augustine Washinton Sr. (1694-1743)and Augustine's second wife, Mary Ball Washington (1708-1789). George had two older half-brothers, Lawrence (1718-1752) and Augustine Washington, Jr. (1720-1762). He had five younger siblings by his mother, Mary Ball Washington, two sisters and three brothers : * Betty (later Betty Washington Lewis)- (1733-1797) * Samuel - (1734-1781) * John Augustine - (1736-1787) * Charles - (1738-1799) * Mildred (died in infancy) - (1739-1740) As shown, none of his brothers and sisters outlived him, his brother Charles dying three months before George's death. Washington had seven nieces and nephews by his brother Samuel, who was married five times. His brother John's son, Bushrod Washington (1762-1829), inherited Mount Vernon and became a Supreme Court Justice. George married Martha Dandridge Custis (1731-1802) on January 6, 1759. She had two living children, John Custis (Jacky) and Martha Custis (Patsy). Patsy died in 1774. After the death of John (Jacky) at the end of the Revolutionary War, George and Martha informally adopted Martha's grandchildren Eleanor (Nelly 1779-1852)) and George Washington Parke Custis (1781-1857). Martha Washington's great-granddaughter, Mary Anna, married Robert E. Lee. Both Robert E. Lee and Martha's great-great-grandson, George Washington Custis Lee (1832-1913) were generals in the Confederate army. George Washington's step-daughter-in-law Eleanor had nine other children, seven with her second husband, Dr. David Stuart.

George Washington , as President of the Constitutional Convention, signed on September 17, 1787. As he was commanding the Continental Army, he did NOT sign the US Declaration Of Independence.

No. Modern doctors believe that Washington died from either epiglottitis or, since he was bled as part of the treatment, a combination of shock from the loss of five pints of blood, as well as asphyxia and dehydration.

George Washington became the first President of the United States on April 30, 1789.

George Washington was the general of the Continental Army, he was the highest rank. Therefore, he had no commander.
