      I have read a couple books and saw other documentaries that had to do with Washington's behavior and appearance. I don't know how aggressive he was in conversation, but in his action he was rather ruthless. He was also a rather greedy man. I was reading one of his biographies where it describes how he would take long trips around the lands which he somehow acquired at some point before, during, or immediately after the revolutionary war. He was getting very angry and didn't even want some random people who wanted to farm his land to stay there. That is despite it being rather large territory. He later also expressed his hatred toward the natives since they were living in the land that was "his".
      One part describes how some of the settlers who built a farm on his land didn't even know that anyone already owned the land. They were some religious puritans and he basically trying to squeeze every penny out of them and really hated them. Our impression of him as a "nice" person could only have come from the most common portrait of Washington, including the one we see on the money. That portrait is apparently very inaccurate because the painter and he didn't like each other and Washington had to hold a bunch of cotton in his mouth which made his face look like he was a calm man with puffy cheeks.
      Remember also that he was trained by the British military. They were already known as very violent people, but if he had been promoted a number of times then he must have been more volatile than others.

      Yup, once you understand all "History" is just "His-Story" you start to get this world and it's past the best thing you can do is gain different perspectives so you can hopefully come to you're version! Like I always say just because 4 ppl live in the same house doesn't mean there the same person! We all got our own perspectives and opinions! Is there a common truth yes! But who's to say someone else's version is right or wrong? It's all human constructs.. life is about finding and making a purpose for yourself unless you're greedy then it's all about $$$$.

    It was our tenacity that vexed the British no end. We simply outlasted & exhausted them, plus much incompetence & complacency among their commanders; not all, of course. Cornwallis & Tarleton were superb, for example, to name but two. Also, the 13 colonies presented the British with too vast a territory to subjugate with any permanency. French entry into the war on our side was a huge factor as well. Without their aid, well, let's face it---the game, sir, would've been over much sooner.

      One of the main reasons America won was because victims who fight back actually have the advantage of being wronged which sets most people into there fight or flight mindstate which you cannot do the flight part when you're trapped in a corner! One thing government don't want people to learn is that humans are naturally violent because then people wouldn't put up with there BS of treating us now how the British treated america when it was forming! Even illegally taxing us like them too.. don't say the taxes are for infrastructure either.. we had all that before those thugs we call the IRS came around.. government takes away a bunch of our rights in the name of safety but somehow we end up even less safe then before! Lately it's even been the ones who are suppose to keep us safe keeping us in fear like the police and authority! If I were a black man I'd feel like I'm taking a risk even calling the cops for help myself aha..

Other than to say, this is a different world all together; much better than his day when famine was always a real threat; that he wouldn't know where to begin to make it better and in fear of making it worse, he'll say nothing, But go for a airplane ride and some 4 wheeling and maybe some jet skiing.

    This must be 'snopes' version.
    Whenever the author has to use the assertion of the "truth about" something - as if everything you've heard up until they graced the world with their unbiased character, and finally saved all mankind from the lies of everyone and everything but their own singular sense of honesty - I can't help bracing myself for a subtle smear campaign, disguised as being 'for your own good' and the sake of the unvarnished truth, as if it's not anyone's particular viewpoint, but coming from a non-human source that is objective in a way that no human could be.
    How the author[s] accessed such a perspective is never explained of course: it's likely established by the same kind of means as the new "science" we have now, that isn't just an opinion or someone's limited understanding, but somehow exists objectively exterior to the phenomenon of personal viewpoint, yet can be accessed without loss of quality or integrity by humans who have earned 'degrees' through the grace and approval of other humans with degrees.

    This actor portraying Washington is to gruff and cranky. All accounts of him from people who knew him said he was a man a great temperance and fortitude as well as noble and kind. This show does a disservice to his character and memory.

    11:00 washington was a stupid general from the first battle to the last. an attack on boston without ammo or gunpowder which everyone knew was hairbrained for many different reasons to yorktown, when GW wanted to fight a city war in new york instead.

      Well, he did bluff the largest armed force in the world, enough to proclaim independence and completely help start an entire country......
      I would believe there are, have been and will be hundreds of thousands of intelligent decorated military men that cant or will never top that.
      Call it what you will but warfare isn't just about intelligence, seems a good pair and a couple good bluffs can change the course of history.

      @Sue Taft Sue, you should learn to read before you make a statement like that. my reference to new york was at the end of the war. GW wanted to attacked nyc rather than trap the brittish at yorktown. at the beginning of the war GW did defend niece, incompetently. he botched the battle of long island by being outflanked. by being on an island he only narrowly escaped being encircled by the world's biggest navy. he lost 1/3 of his army defending Ft. Washington which Gen Lee told him would be a mistake. perhaps you should read up on your american history.

    This is about the lamest portrayal of GW and the Revolution I've seen, and I've seen many. It's like a badly cast, macho-patriotic, 50s-era-Cold War indoctrination film. John Wayne and Randolph Scott might have made it worth the ticket, but alas...
