Recommended: George washington leader

I would most likely want to meet and talk to George Washington. He was a very important individual in the Revolutionary War and birth of our nation. I would ask him if really chopped down a cherry tree or is that an urban legend. It would also be interesting to hear testimonies of the many battles that occurred during the war. I would also inquire his opinion on the current social status of minors in the United States and demonstrate how much has evolved since he was president. My final question would be if he was proud of what he has accomplished in his lifetime.

  • George Washington-Founding Father?

    1179 Words  | 3 Pages

    George Washington became President in 1789 and since then has been regarded as America’s “Founding Father”(10). This grand and hero-like status is said to have “began gravitating to Washington six months before the Declaration of Independence, when one Levi Allen addressed him in a letter as ‘our political Father.’”(10). The preservation of Washington’s role as a national hero has been allowed by authors and the media omitting his many flaws as if they had either been forgotten or were no longer important. Yet by excluding these human faults, they have projected an almost god-like hero and inflicted him upon the nation as their Father, somebody whose “life still has the power to inspire anyone”(10).
