The legend of George Washington chopping down a Cherry Tree, is indeed an allegorical story, something that Freemasons and other elite secret societies have kept to themselves, and have especially kept from Moorish (so called Black/African American) people. It's an ancient legend that stems from Moorish History, and the secret relationship between the 13 so called American colonies and the Moroccan Empire. The nickname of the Moorish National Flag, that most Americans would call the Moroccan Flag, is the "Cherry-Tree", because of it's red & green colors, and because we as Mighty Moors, like our flag, stands tall. General Washington, chopping down this cherry tree, represents him breaking the Treaty of Peace & Friendship between the American colonist and the Sultan of Morocco and the enslavement of so called African human resources, the defeat of the Moors. Your Welcome-Sincerely, Khairi R. Khan-Bey.

∙ 13y agoYes it is a folk tale that has been taken as history. It was in a book written by a Parson Weems a 100 years after the death of Washington.
Actually "George Washington cut down the cherry tree" is a fable, but what was asked was: "Is the story of George Washington cuts of the cherry tree a fable?"
I suspect he might have taken cuttings from a cherry tree, perhaps to plant elsewhere, although I fail to see the historical significance of such an act.

∙ 13y agoToday it is believed that it was a fabricated story written by Parson Mason Weems. Ironically, the story speaks of Washington's honesty when in fact, the story itself is not true. Hope I helped! :D

∙ 13y agoIt tells us about how it's always good to tell the truth. George chopped down the cherry tree, and when his dad asked who did it, George admitted it. I dunno why he chopped it down in the first place...
by the way, the story's not true.

∙ 10y agoThat story really isn't true - that's just a story made up to show how honest he was.

Who helped design the city of Washington DC?
Benjamin Banneker. While Andrew Ellicott and his team were conducting the federal district boundary survey, Pierre (Peter) Charles L'Enfant was preparing a plan for the federal capital city (the City of Washington), which would be located in a relatively small area bounded by the Potomac River, the Anacostia River (known at the time as the "Eastern Branch"), the base of the fall line and Rock Creek at the center of the much larger 100-square-mile (260 km2) federal district. In late February 1792, President George Washington dismissed L'Enfant, who had failed to have his plan published and who was experiencing frequent conflicts with the three Commissioners that Washington had appointed to supervise the planning and survey of the federal district and city. According to a Banneker legend, L'Enfant took his plans with him after his dismissal, leaving no copies behind. As the story is told, Banneker spent two days reconstructing the bulk of the city's plan from his presumably photographic memory. According to the story, the plans that Banneker purportedly drew from memory provided the basis for the later construction of the federal capital city. Titles of works relating this fable have touted Banneker as "The Man Who Saved Washington" and "An Early American Hero".
