George Washington

Their first much needed victory was at Trenton, New Jersey. General Washington and his men marched nine miles through sleet and snow to the garrison held by the enemy. These were not British, but mercinaries, fighting solely for money. Germans paid by the British, Hessians. But they were lulled into confidence by the storm, and it was Christmas. So most of the soldiers, to put it honestly, got drunk off of rum. Most were still sleeping it off from the night before, and so the Americans launched a surprise attack on the ill-prepared Hessians. 30 of the Germans were killed, 918 captives taken, and 6 Hessian cannons were taken.

John Adams did not command the respect that was given to Washington. He was short and fat and did not look like a hero and , of course, he was not a soldier.

Washington , on the other hand, was tall and powerfully built. When he sat on his horse in dress uniform he looked every inch the hero that he was. Adams was highly educated and a skilled lawyer. He probably was more intelligent than Washington, although Washington had a good business and common sense and better people skills than Adams.

Governing was challenging for George Washington and Congress due to the lack of a strong federal framework and the recent memories of British tyranny, which made states wary of centralized power. The Articles of Confederation provided limited authority to the national government, hindering effective decision-making and coordination among the states.

Washington's leadership was crucial in navigating these complexities and laying the groundwork for a stronger federal system.

If you think about it that is just is what happened in modern America. Washington is worth reading on his views of government.

the only president to serve more than two terms in office was Franklin D. Roosevelt. Roosevelt held office for three and one half terms.
