George Washington was devoted to founding an independent nation and saw to it that it happened. He later served as President and did so with devotion to his newly formed country. He was not a perfect General or President but he put in a lot of effort. Everyone makes mistakes and so did Washington. His smart, caring choices are what I choose to focus on.
He stood against the brits tyranny and changed the world one time after another. They got paintings of this guy and a whole continental army on rowboats looking for redcoats on christmas.
The Value of DEVOTION is what Washington taught us to keep America going. It's NOT about our personal PERFECTION. It's about our DEVOTION to see it to the END...How many of us will do that????
Washington was a true man of his age. No, he never did chop down that cherry tree. However; he was stead fast in his beliefs. George believed in honor, discipline and, faith in his fellow man. The United States could not ask for a better General in war. And, I have to say; our model of a great President.
I’d say stepping down after 2 terms as President will always be one of his biggest/greatest legacies. The office of President could have been anything he wanted it to be, yet he did his best to ensure it wasn’t an all powerful position. The constitution doesn’t really lay out much about the executive branch and it’s powers rely mostly on tradition. A tradition that started with Washington and has continued for over 200 years.
George Washington is the best president that we could’ve asked for ( to start the country with ) his integrity in my opinion is rivaled by no other president.
No integrity in my mind. His owned and beaten slaves. Even went heaven and earth to capture escaped ones. A man who value freedom and liberty sure didn’t take his own advice.
Washington may have not been the best general in a purely military sense of winning battles with tactical prowess, but he won the Revolutionary War by keeping the army alive in critical battles such Trenton. At many points the army was very close to collapse such as at Valley Forge, but he had the respect from the troops that was critical. Truly he was the father of the country.
@@TheUltimateOpportunist The French were critical at many points later, especially at Yorktown but prior to the French involvement he was the vital leader without whom the army would have left service and the War collapse.
I disagree I think General George Washington was a suburb military strategist and should be place among the top 5 USA military leader. The victory at Trenton and Princeton was a masterpiece.
Washington didn't have much to work with. Congress didn't have authority to tax and didn't pay the troops or pay for supplies. It was a rag tag band that came and went most of the time he didn't have 8,000 troops to command
I recently became very interested in the Founding Fathers after watching the HBO series John Adams. If anyone is remotely fascinated by colonial America and the events that led to our Independence, I HIGHLY recommend it. It’s so well done it’s like actually glimpsing into the 1700’s.

@@denissullivan5035 If you are interested in that time, you should watch the series Turn. It is about Washington's spy ring on Long Island during the Revolution and has Washington, Benedict Arnold, and General Charles Lee as main characters.

@@imout671 This is not NEARLY the same. I’m going to assume you have just never been taught what really goes on with Abortion and explain it to you simply. It’s a medical procedure which does not end with the taking of a life. In the majority of cases, it was necessary because either the mother’s life would have been in danger of taken to term, or the baby had a catastrophic malformation, meaning they would not have survived anyways. Even when unwanted pregnancies are aborted, they’re done at a time when there isn’t even a developed child in the womb, but rather a mass of undifferentiated stem cells; no brain, no heart, no nothing.

@bastiat4855sorry but " right wing" Christians formed abolitionist movements in America and Britain and they really pushed the idea that all men are equal in the eyes of God. Liberals are generally anti God in that they support immorality. However Words do change meanings over time.
I had many ancestors that fought in the American Revolution. One of them, my 5th ggf Samuel Ellis was on duty one day when Washington rode up next to him on his horse. He pulled out his eyeglass and was looking at the British then casually handed it over to my 5th ggf and told him to take a look after which a long conversation ensued.
I'm appreciative of what he did to help our nation become independent of an oppressive colonial power. However, some seem to forget that he also was a member of the elite in a system that not only exploited people, but enslaved and traded black people like cattle. He was a great leader, but it was also in his economic self interest as a wealthy colonist to rebel against the crown.

Hello Cheryl how are you doing today?....To Revisionist historians trying to paint George Washington as a bad person: we can talk all we want about the things Washington didn’t do, but we can’t refuse to accept all the great things the man did do...what do you think about this post Cheryl?
I think Washington was a great leader. Leaders who find an excellent staff and listen to them are great in my mind. He was courageous as well and did not hesitate to put himself in harm’s way when he deemed it necessary.
….I will always be grateful to Lin-Manuel Miranda for so perfectly nailing Washington’s personality & beliefs in “Hamilton.” What could have been a re-writing of history, stands as a remarkably accurate representation of each of the founding fathers & their motivations….. Just listen to Washington explaining to Hamilton his reasons for relinquishing power (the Presidency) in the song, “One Last Time”…..
Great job bros!!! I want to do the same for both my parents!!! To see their genuine joy would be great!! To be able to give back after they’ve sacrificed so much, amazing moment you see the joy in your moms eyes would be a special moment!!! Like you said she’s happy and it’s not for the car but to have her son around means so much more!!!..
George Washington, regardless of his failings, was a remarkable leader who set some fine examples in his leadership of the United States. Thank you for everything, George.
He wasn't the richest nor was he formally educated but the man was a military genius. He built his business all on his own while educating himself without a school. He was one of the earliest Americans to disagree with slavery and even made it a point to free his own at death. This man is arguably the most important person in political history in the last 200 years. He set a precedent that would play out over the course of American history. We wouldn't have the beliefs we do without him. What's funny is modern liberals don't like him yet he was one of the only people in his time to support many of their beliefs except he had the courage to do it 200 years ago.
A man that like Marcus Aurelius consistently tried to do his best serves as a figure that embodies all the best virtues and values one could hope to aspire too.
Good advisors makes a huge difference biblically speaking. Hik surrounding himself with people smarter than him in different ways than himself. Like franklin and jefferson. Aspects like that ensured usa wouldnt be engineered as a dictatorship or a democracy or a monarchy
The row boating across the river in winter on christmas for a suprise attack was pretty nuts. He had a lot of losses but he was the definition of you dont have to win the battle but you can still win the war. Hes also a perfect example of the pen is mightier than the sword. He kept having mutiny and they abandoned him at fort nessessity and they lost 1/3 of the men and surrendered yet washington lived. Got shot off his horse twice. And founded the most powerful nation in human history. It mean bro, few people have this kind of resumé. He was a real legitimate leader. Getting shot off his horse mid battle twice, he was really in it, he wasnt backseat driving like the major global militaries are today
“Washington naively believed slavery would die out naturally.” This is a very valid belief, and it was on its way out before the civil war began. As a matter of fact, race relations would have been better off had slavery been allowed to continue until it had fully been recognized as the economic dead end it was as the Industrial Revolution set in. It would have been abolished likely before then, on grounds of slaves being more expensive, and it being cheaper to simply pay free people low wages-you know, how life was for workers in the industrial era- rather than upkeep a bunch of slaves whose labor was being outpaced by new inventions.
It was not lost on the learned of Washington’s time that technology improves over time. Automatic weaponry, more efficient production methods, etc.. these were not fantastic stretches of the mind. They weren’t stupid. lol. It is very easy to see that technology may go on to replace the need for human labor. This is a mindset we carry to this day. Anyways, it’s okay to admit the civil war was a mistake.
There almost wasn't a Ceasar because of Sulla. He was on a Proscription list when he was just a teenager for him familiar ties to the General Marius. Luckily he survived
I think George Washington was extremely talented in finding out what the people around him were good at and giving them tasks on which they would grow into even better leaders, friends, officers, Generals, Stetesmen and people.
There were 16 presidential terms before Washington starting with Peyton Randolph of Virginia. He opened the First Continental Congress on September 4, 1774.
"The fractionalities between the Federalists and the Republicans would only become more intense". Truer words were never spoken about what's happening today in America between Democrats and Republicans.
President Washington did what the circumstances dictated at the time, they were different times. No single person in the history of the world has gone through life without making mistakes. - Would be amazing to hear what Mr. Washington would say about how the USA turned out... a coast to coast transcontinental shopping mall, with oversized people, paying with credit cards out of their fanny packs, with huge homes, SUVs, ATVs, boats, central heating, a/c pools etc etc. and still find a way to be unhappy and depressed. Forget about serving in the armed forces.
It always really bothered me when I read the 3/5 compromise but this video helped me to understand that it served a purpose in the abolishing of slavery. Without it, the south would of had the power to keep slaves indefinitely.
George Washington, unlike other American Founding Fathers and the scholarly aristocratic Thomas Jefferson (today we call this type as nerd snob), didn't grow up with a silver spoon in his mouth and was pampered with slave nanny. His mother Mary (an orphan in early life) raised George in a very strict environment. So, in early life, he learned to fend by himself various obstacles which built in him a strong, resilient moral character. Also God bless him with the destiny of being the right man at the right place. Thus, he was the main leading character at the beginning of the French-Indian War leading to the British victory in North America. He was there, ready to lead the poorly trained and equipped Continental Army. It was nice to have an eloquent Declaration of Independence; but, this is not going to impress the British or the World in joining the colonists' cause. A military victory was necessary. At the end of the War, things deteriored quickly and independence could have been lost without Washington presiding over the drafting of the US Constitution. When the Constitution called for a US President, the ageing George Washington agreed to serve and to organize the basic structure of the US government that we know Today. Not being a Machavielli or a Napoleon, George Washington will go down in History as a rebel leader who founded a Republican Nation.
Although taxation without representation was the key driver of the desire for independence, ive never heard or read quantification of taxes! Im going to research
(". matatan".),(".🤔."),(". Ribirin".)HS, What an amazing documentary, masterpiece of history Very well done, God bless United States of America history,
I consider George Washington the greatest American to ever live. George Washington along with Winston Churchill and Dwight D, Eisenhower helped sculpter hisory to favor good over evil. The father of the greatest nation to ever exist.
Don’t forget that he lived through faction, party bickering, assassination threats, deep national division, chattel slavery, back to back continental wars, rebellious generals, offers of a coup d’etat and near civil war. If the U.S. manages to make it 250 years, frankly I think he’d be proud.
That so dumb that people would not do anything unless he is a President he did not want to be a president he just wants to live at home with his family but he had no choice
George Washington is still the best general the world has ever seen. He never gave up and fought right along with his men. Made a couple of not so good calls but he always backed them up and never quit fighting even afterwards in politics. He is proudly the FATHER of our nation! Great job to everyone who worked on this! Well done!!!
He never lost a battle enough to die. Even managed to surrender one and then lived to win another day. Think about that one bro thats wild. Its like 5d chess.
Can you imagine kids growing up like this these days 😂 my how awful that would be. Kids have no idea just how easy they have it even the most unfortunate
Washington was not "nonpartisan" at the convention! In fact, he was one of only a small group that knew what the meeting was actually about before arriving. He was clearly a federalist, something you admit in the very sentence before calling him nonpartisan.
And without The United States there would be no France. We bailed them out not once but twice in both World Wars. WW1 was at a a stand still until we came over and busted through the trenches and accepted German surrender in a year. Then IN WW2 Hitler conquered France In days. We, with our British and Canadian allies preformed the greatest act heroism in history by storming the beaches of Normandy and liberating France and crushing Nazi Germany.

I had many ancestors that fought in the American Revolution. One of them, my 5th ggf Samuel Ellis was on duty one day when Washington rode up next to him on his horse. He pulled out his eyeglass and was looking at the British then casually handed it over to my 5th ggf and told him to take a look after which a long conversation ensued.
Awesome!

I'm appreciative of what he did to help our nation become independent of an oppressive colonial power. However, some seem to forget that he also was a member of the elite in a system that not only exploited people, but enslaved and traded black people like cattle. He was a great leader, but it was also in his economic self interest as a wealthy colonist to rebel against the crown.
You don’t really hear ‘English Americans’ make a shout but he’s a great one!
By this point, they were still English - America was underway as being formed As a nation
The Greatest. He knew what America would become. He saw the bigger picture a few hundred years before it came to be.
They all did and there was always tyrants swooping in trying to take it away
Why were the more senior statesman such as George Mason, Roger Sherman, Samuel Adams, George Wythe not elected to the office of POTUS or VPOTUS?
The People Profile First President of the USA George Washington appreciate your videos Listening 🌼 From Mass USA TYVM 🇺🇸 George Blessings for everyone❤❤ ♥
Hello Cheryl how are you doing today?....To Revisionist historians trying to paint George Washington as a bad person: we can talk all we want about the things Washington didn’t do, but we can’t refuse to accept all the great things the man did do...what do you think about this post Cheryl?
Love all the videos 👍and I'm still waiting for a episode on Mackensen and other generals from the Great War 💣💥☠✌
The greatest American. He sacrificed his life and family to free this country. He could have decided not too. He was a kind, decent and Godly man.
@stevemore3206 I hope that's sarcasm.
@@strongbird3499 No, it's not... Now go to your corner and cope harder.
@@xSTstSTx I don't take orders from drooling cult followers. I don't respect you. In fact, I barely consider you human.
Love this narrator!
I think Washington was a great leader.
Leaders who find an excellent staff and listen to them are great in my mind.
He was courageous as well and did not hesitate to put himself in harm’s way when he deemed it necessary.
….I will always be grateful to Lin-Manuel Miranda for so perfectly nailing Washington’s personality & beliefs in “Hamilton.” What could have been a re-writing of history, stands as a remarkably accurate representation of each of the founding fathers & their motivations…..
Just listen to Washington explaining to Hamilton his reasons for relinquishing power (the Presidency) in the song, “One Last Time”…..
It must be nice to have Washington on your side 😎
Hi. This is a very good collection of American history!
Great video
Great job bros!!! I want to do the same for both my parents!!! To see their genuine joy would be great!! To be able to give back after they’ve sacrificed so much, amazing moment you see the joy in your moms eyes would be a special moment!!! Like you said she’s happy and it’s not for the car but to have her son around means so much more!!!..
George Washington, regardless of his failings, was a remarkable leader who set some fine examples in his leadership of the United States. Thank you for everything, George.
He wasn't the richest nor was he formally educated but the man was a military genius. He built his business all on his own while educating himself without a school. He was one of the earliest Americans to disagree with slavery and even made it a point to free his own at death. This man is arguably the most important person in political history in the last 200 years. He set a precedent that would play out over the course of American history. We wouldn't have the beliefs we do without him. What's funny is modern liberals don't like him yet he was one of the only people in his time to support many of their beliefs except he had the courage to do it 200 years ago.
A man that like Marcus Aurelius consistently tried to do his best serves as a figure that embodies all the best virtues and values one could hope to aspire too.
*to serve
The 2012 movie Lincoln starring Daniel Day Lewis, they need to make an in depth movie about Washington
I finally understand that line in history has its eyes on you from Hamilton and what it meant,
Even though he is a diety in American history, and even as a skeptical American, I think he was extremely self-sacrificing and a great decision-maker.
Good advisors makes a huge difference biblically speaking. Hik surrounding himself with people smarter than him in different ways than himself. Like franklin and jefferson. Aspects like that ensured usa wouldnt be engineered as a dictatorship or a democracy or a monarchy
Very good. Hope you continue with more Presidents History

Washington’s Presidency Was The Ending Of An Amazing Life, He Did Exactly What He Needed To Do To Keep This Nation Standing
Loved this documentary. Love History. He was such an inspiration. Battle strategy too
Hello Janice how are you doing today?
The row boating across the river in winter on christmas for a suprise attack was pretty nuts. He had a lot of losses but he was the definition of you dont have to win the battle but you can still win the war. Hes also a perfect example of the pen is mightier than the sword. He kept having mutiny and they abandoned him at fort nessessity and they lost 1/3 of the men and surrendered yet washington lived. Got shot off his horse twice. And founded the most powerful nation in human history. It mean bro, few people have this kind of resumé. He was a real legitimate leader. Getting shot off his horse mid battle twice, he was really in it, he wasnt backseat driving like the major global militaries are today
*history
“Washington naively believed slavery would die out naturally.”
This is a very valid belief, and it was on its way out before the civil war began.
As a matter of fact, race relations would have been better off had slavery been allowed to continue until it had fully been recognized as the economic dead end it was as the Industrial Revolution set in. It would have been abolished likely before then, on grounds of slaves being more expensive, and it being cheaper to simply pay free people low wages-you know, how life was for workers in the industrial era- rather than upkeep a bunch of slaves whose labor was being outpaced by new inventions.
It was not lost on the learned of Washington’s time that technology improves over time. Automatic weaponry, more efficient production methods, etc.. these were not fantastic stretches of the mind. They weren’t stupid. lol.
It is very easy to see that technology may go on to replace the need for human labor. This is a mindset we carry to this day.
Anyways, it’s okay to admit the civil war was a mistake.
Also known as Cornelius Sulla. My favorite Roman figure.
There almost wasn't a Ceasar because of Sulla. He was on a Proscription list when he was just a teenager for him familiar ties to the General Marius. Luckily he survived
@@mikeroden213 yes Sulla was not a fan of Julius in the slightest.
Hi friends, from a neighbor looking on, I feel he did everything asked of him and more and provided a steady hand and head in tough times. Kev
Thanks. I am looking forward to John Adams video.

@0:34 - I giggle on how the narrator pronounces "Maryland!"

Service? These are the worse men to ever live
I think George Washington was extremely talented in finding out what the people around him were good at and giving them tasks on which they would grow into even better leaders, friends, officers, Generals, Stetesmen and people.
Why were the more senior statesman such as George Mason, Roger Sherman, Samuel Adams, George Wythe not elected to the office of POTUS or VPOTUS?
Can you make a video on Queen Mary (queen consort to King George V)? No rush, just a request!
If Netflix ever make a George Washington documentary, he will be played by Denzel Washington.
There were 16 presidential terms before Washington starting with Peyton Randolph of Virginia. He opened the First Continental Congress on September 4, 1774.
But they were confederation presidents, Washington was the first president to be Recognized by the Constitution
"The fractionalities between the Federalists and the Republicans would only become more intense". Truer words were never spoken about what's happening today in America between Democrats and Republicans.
The Republican Party in the 1700s is not the same as the modern GOP, but the comparison is still relevant.
Chester Nimitz when? We've had most of the other countries military leaders. Yet Nimitz seems to get over looked.
Nice collection ❤❤
President Washington did what the circumstances dictated at the time, they were different times. No single person in the history of the world has gone through life without making mistakes. - Would be amazing to hear what Mr. Washington would say about how the USA turned out... a coast to coast transcontinental shopping mall, with oversized people, paying with credit cards out of their fanny packs, with huge homes, SUVs, ATVs, boats, central heating, a/c pools etc etc. and still find a way to be unhappy and depressed. Forget about serving in the armed forces.
All the black people running free 😂
It always really bothered me when I read the 3/5 compromise but this video helped me to understand that it served a purpose in the abolishing of slavery. Without it, the south would of had the power to keep slaves indefinitely.
George Washington, unlike other American Founding Fathers and the scholarly aristocratic Thomas Jefferson (today we call this type as nerd snob), didn't grow up with a silver spoon in his mouth and was pampered with slave nanny. His mother Mary (an orphan in early life) raised George in a very strict environment. So, in early life, he learned to fend by himself various obstacles which built in him a strong, resilient moral character.
Also God bless him with the destiny of being the right man at the right place. Thus, he was the main leading character at the beginning of the French-Indian War leading to the British victory in North America. He was there, ready to lead the poorly trained and equipped Continental Army. It was nice to have an eloquent Declaration of Independence; but, this is not going to impress the British or the World in joining the colonists' cause. A military victory was necessary. At the end of the War, things deteriored quickly and independence could have been lost without Washington presiding over the drafting of the US Constitution. When the Constitution called for a US President, the ageing George Washington agreed to serve and to organize the basic structure of the US government that we know Today. Not being a Machavielli or a Napoleon, George Washington will go down in History as a rebel leader who founded a Republican Nation.
Can you imagine George Washington having a conversation with Kamala Harris
Although taxation without representation was the key driver of the desire for independence, ive never heard or read quantification of taxes! Im going to research
Can you do one on friedrich engels please!!!
I think Washington had more skill, intellect, and courage than all his critics combined.
The Courage Of Achilles
He became great thanks to Hamilton, Jefferson, Martha, and others. He did his part, yes. Surrounding himself with smart people
Why were the more senior statesman such as George Mason, Roger Sherman, Samuel Adams, George Wythe not elected to the office of POTUS or VOTES?
If George Washington Was Alive & Saw America 2024, He Would Be Ashamed Of What He Started 💯
RIP
George Washington
(1732-1799)
There was no Wokeness at that era. the best era of building legacy and history!
I always thought he looked liked Queen Elizabeth 2, especially on the dollar bill
Well, they were related -- seventh cousins, five times removed (I believe).
@Neva Records Actually, they were second cousins, seven times removed -- both claiming descent from Colonel Augustine Warner.
Thanks for the story.
The greatest American who ever lived. PERIOD!
That's a great compliment. He was a black man, so do you still feel the same?
Really a great video
(". matatan".),(".🤔."),(". Ribirin".)HS,
What an amazing documentary, masterpiece of history
Very well done,
God bless United States of America history,
I consider George Washington the greatest American to ever live. George Washington along with Winston Churchill and Dwight D, Eisenhower helped sculpter hisory to favor good over evil. The father of the greatest nation to ever exist.
You left out Abraham Lincoln.
Don’t forget that he lived through faction, party bickering, assassination threats, deep national division, chattel slavery, back to back continental wars, rebellious generals, offers of a coup d’etat and near civil war. If the U.S. manages to make it 250 years, frankly I think he’d be proud.
That so dumb that people would not do anything unless he is a President he did not want to be a president he just wants to live at home with his family but he had no choice
Those two talking trash anonymously thru print is the first social media trolling!
George Washington is still the best general the world has ever seen. He never gave up and fought right along with his men. Made a couple of not so good calls but he always backed them up and never quit fighting even afterwards in politics. He is proudly the FATHER of our nation! Great job to everyone who worked on this! Well done!!!
George Washington Was An Alien 👽
He never lost a battle enough to die. Even managed to surrender one and then lived to win another day. Think about that one bro thats wild. Its like 5d chess.
That I doubt as weapons were nothing like present day trust me being under fire then to now he wouldn't stand a chance today
Slave master pure and simple
Washington and Lincoln were, are, and always will be the best USA Presidents ever!!!!!!!!!!!
An awesome stateman!
thank you, i have been researching our american historu
George Washington, Marching to Kick Ass.
Marching not to give up. Taking Action
I love this type of history,
He was an honest and honorable man.
Thankful for him
Give me pizza pockets or give me death!! Great video.
Can you imagine kids growing up like this these days 😂 my how awful that would be. Kids have no idea just how easy they have it even the most unfortunate
Washington was not "nonpartisan" at the convention! In fact, he was one of only a small group that knew what the meeting was actually about before arriving. He was clearly a federalist, something you admit in the very sentence before calling him nonpartisan.
Remember without the french there is no America.
Nah, the Continentals had it won by Saratoga.
And without The United States there would be no France. We bailed them out not once but twice in both World Wars. WW1 was at a a stand still until we came over and busted through the trenches and accepted German surrender in a year. Then IN WW2 Hitler conquered France In days. We, with our British and Canadian allies preformed the greatest act heroism in history by storming the beaches of Normandy and liberating France and crushing Nazi Germany.
Everyone give it up for Americas favourite fighting French man !
@@mikeroden213and then taking in Nazis
Great spirit man. Power. Self stop.
