Washington's greatest attribute was his emotional control and the ability to maintain an even temperament under stressful situations. He worked on it early and cultivated it his entire life...as if he knew what his destiny was. He was not a first class Intellect or General but he possessed a first class Character.
I must respectfully disagree with your assessment of his not being a first class general or had the intellect. His skill as a general was demonstrated by his tactic for hit and run because of an inferior army vs. the British and their superior numbers at almost EVERY engagement! Then there is the fact that he skillfully negotiated with the French and kept them informed of his armies and their positions to PROVE to them that the young Americans can and WILL fight and not give up under duress. Therefore earning their trust. All the while his army threatened to give up because of lack of pay! A first class general AND A masterful tactician with great character while holding the American army together and earning the trust of the French!
@@shilohpuppy5649 I did not intend for it to come across as a critique of GW....rather my intention was to recognize that he used the all strengths he had....particularly leadership of a group of Officers, mostly non-professionals and dandys with some even vying to supplant him as CinC. He swatted them down, not so much with his professional acumen as with his own personal gravitas. Washington was the "Indispensable Man".
Washington literally stopped a rebellion among his old Revolutionary War officers by putting on his spectacles and saying softly. "Gentlemen I have become gray in your service."
Yes’ this show was and is a TRUE masterpiece of excellence acting’ the characters where so well written and as you have already stated, the tactics of the fighting men of the period were spot on and very realistic’ RR’s was and is the BOOK of all military special forces to this very day’ and is still reflected word for word in the U.S. Ranger creed’ this show should be mandatory in all US schools’ there where more than a few moments that brought tears to the cheeks.
I love how they portrayed Washington in this series never openly losing his temper and always keeping his calm energy. I can't Imagine this man ever angrily screaming or shouting loudly.
I have not seen this series. George Washington is rightfully titled as the "Father of our Country". He was a man of great honor and character. We were truly blessed to have him in his capacity at that time in our history.
What I respect about him the most was the perseverance he showed in the face of defeat he never gave up. General Washington Lost more battles than he won and was outmatched and outgunned. However in the face of those odds he stood fast and kept faith in himself and those who followed him.
Good show. Shows the bad parts of our society at the time and some of the good. Historically some points are on point but a lot of dramatic license was used. Very entertaining
If you have yet watched the series I wholeheartedly recommend that you do. It will provide hours of intrigue rolled (loosely at times) into history. It’s a story very well told over 4 seasons.
I like how this shows Washington knowing that a FREE and INDEPENDENT press is important to keep a GOVERNMENT in check and the people informed. I wish thats how it was today.
The point of this scene was to show that Washington was magnanimous. The publisher is taken aback by his genuine character; a man whose character he had previously assassinated but had never met before this moment. Washington wanted it to be known that with the conflict over, the Americans and their British kin could still heal. There need not be any more fighting of any kind, lest it be done in a gentlemanly manner.
These days we really only have two groups of people, those that read the news they are most politically aligned with and those that don't read news at all.
After an enjoyable but non-historical run binge-watching the show, this scene just out of nowhere smacked me in the face. I figured Rivington's character wouldn't get a closure and they---writers, director, and actor---delivered. That being said, you need the next seven or so seconds at the end.
It's a drama show so of course it'll be loose with historical accuracy and details but the co producer Alexander Rose is a historian of time, so the show is fairly accurate for what it is
I greatly enjoyed that scene where we see that the editor was actually a victim of the war is anybody else was. he was not a monster. and real life he actually did help the culper ring out. I liked how the series showed both good and bad people on both sides and that was important. And it made it a lot more realistic
The broad brush history is quite accurate but it is a drama and liberties were taken with smaller details in order to keep the story moving and the audience involved.
Worst yet, he survived to commit murder up and down the coast of California. Being chased by a rival newspaper team and the FBI as well as local detectives.
one of my all time favorite programs. School kids should have to watch this. They could better understand how & why we fought for freedom. This is a love letter to America.
In what way? The show is mostly honest… it depicts the war effort, not the cause or reason… there really wasn’t a reason. At the time these were British subjects; not colonized like the Indians, but literally colonizers… After the 7 years war, the crown was bankrupt and decided to place a tax (previously untaxed colonials) on the very folks they went bankrupt defending… It wasn’t noble of us. We wanted to invade more native territory but the crown said no; even Washington had investments on future stolen land. We were basically living well because of the crown, and went on a temper tantrum when we had to pay taxes like every other British subject. Nevermind the fact that so many colonials were TORIES who got abused, killed, raped. This was not a good vs evil story. It was a bunch of chain reactions and propaganda swaying how folks thought. It’s right up there with WW1 in wars that NEVER should have happened. Am I glad the US now exists? Yes. Was the war justified? No. Would the world be a better place if it didn’t? Who knows. World wars like the American war of independence, 7 years war, 1812, ww1 are all likely interwoven in causation of future events.

For foreigners who don't understand why we quite literally venerate George Washington, it's because he was quite literally that dude. If every American attempted to be like Washington, what a different country this would be.
Washington was certainly a complex figure as a statesman, however, I like to believe that the man who pushed for neutrality and against party systems would share the sentiments of the character portrayed in Turn in this scene in particular.
I have grown to respect the hell out of Washington over the past 20 years. Im 46 and growing up i could care less but the more i heard or read about what he did casually, i grew interested in the man. So much so that if there is one person i could ever meet in the past, it would be him without a doubt. I'd be curious on his input on each decade that has passed since he died. Would be interesting to see his reactions to how it has developed over the last 200 plus years (with technology)

They SO need to do a series like this re: the spies of the Civil War. I mean think of it - Booth, Knights of the Golden Circle, conspiracy that Booth didnt die where they claim. That would be Epic!
It would, but the sad fact is that the powers that be would rather keep any inconvenient truths from undercutting the popular narratives in their use as historical anecdotes to continue reminder future generations of past divisions at the expense of painful truths necessary to the healing of infested wounds.
@@ethrsag735 They are already whining about reparations, republicans, CRT - I really dont think its a "powers that be" conspiracy - I think no one simply has thought to write a series about it (except me)
@tellurye My point is that they'd rather keep the propagandized saints and devil's they've created to continue the division instead of promoting what really happened. Like how WW1 doesn't get enough attention for the problems that caused it and its second round, all they want to focus on is the Holocaust, despite the Holocaust deniers, and Hitler and his political party they've turned into the embodiment of evil despite the fact that it was the way they ended WW1 that gave rise to Hitler and they don't acknowledge that the party's atrocities were primarily pushed by a small group of individuals who used said manner in which WW1 ended to gain the support of the people. Same difference here where they'd rather focus on promoting the sainted version rather than any inconvenient versions.
Wonderful to have a president who values the principles of a free press, rather than one who constantly undermines that press when they report unflattering truths…
"rather than one who constantly undermines that press when they report unflattering truths…" Yeah it was bizzare watching Obama constantly bash any news channel that refused to sing his praises... that was what you were referring to right?

Imagine a Press wedded to objective facts on the front page, and politics expressed no earlier than page six,.. labelled "Opinion." How far the press hath fallen. 🔥👎🔥
Whatever this is, it's sure well written. Is there more to this scene? What is this show? Is it called Turn? I see a show called Turn: Washington Spies, up in the corner. Damn do I like good dialog with good acting.
@@devilpupbear09 ending was terrible yeah. The series absolutely had to be racist, I mean America was conquered by the Nazis? What else did you expect?
I believe Rivington was part of the Culper spy ring. He was loyal to Washington and the Americans and Simcoe by all accounts was an honorable well regarded officer by.both sides. The province of Ontario in Canada have a holiday named after Simcoe. There was a lot of things like this in that show (which I liked) but I never understood why they shook everything up.
Well, for starters Anna Strong was considerably older than Abraham Woodhall and not the same age. I believe she was in her mid to late 30's in reality while Woodhall was in his mid 20's. So any romance between them would be unrealistic especially considering both were married(adultery was a big no no in those days). Also, Abraham's father Richard would live to see the end of the revolution and beyond and was not killed in a prisoner exchange.
He married his wife after the war was over. To be honest though I am glad they did include her in the show. She was a good character and honestly for a dramatic turn she gave him more to lose than if she wasn't there. There were several revisions. Although from what I have read Simcoe was tempered later in life, but he was a very fanatical soldier. Just not anywhere near the level we see in the show.
Ephesians 6:12 New King James Version For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against (B)the rulers of [a]the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.
BUMPED General George Washington is history's greatest general! The only point of battles won or battles lost is that you glean or lose the political currency to "purchase" the political force to make your opponent start doing or stop doing what you dictate. General Washington was commander of the Continental Army. This army's efforts, under his command, purchased the power and space to create a new form of government, a republic wherein sovereignty rested with the people. The ideas embodied in the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of the United States caused a political earthquake through out the Western world. Not too GD bad for someone with little more than militia level experience jousting with professional officers and highly disciplined regiments!!
Think of this when any government agent or leader tells to the press is against you or the government. The press isn't there to sing the glory of a government agent or leader. Yes there are some that do just as there are others who don't. Take the time and read both sides and decide for yourself.
@@Monatio79 Surely you jest! Gandhi is the only man on that list that deserves to be mentioned in the same sentence with Washington. Even for Gandhi, it was a much easier task. Gandhi had only to remain focused on his goal and stay true to his path. Admittedly, a feat far beyond most people! However, Washington was a man of action, he had to resist the temptation to seize the powers that lay before him, often with unobstructed access to them. I don't know of another human that has withstood such temptation. Also, if you were just going to list good and selfless people, I think it rather a disservice to humanity that you leave Mother Teresa off that list. She certainly far outshines Lincoln and Mandela shouldn't ever be listed with even people of Lincoln's stature. I find no fault in anything I know of the 14th Dalai Lama. I admire him and if it were in my power, I would liberate his people and restore him to Tibet today. His current principle oppressor, Chairman Pooh Bear Xi, should be found on lists with Mandela. However, he still doesn't rise to the level of even Mother Teresa. Lincoln was a man facing extremely trying times with good intentions and his assassination kept him from seeing all of those through. However, he also did some terrible things in pursuit of those goals. Things that Washington would never have done. Things we still suffer from today.
@@trplankowner3323 Washington personally mistreated his slaves and was a habitual liar. He never freed any slaves during his lifetime, nor did he do anything to free them as president. While hypocritically claiming that he was against the principle of selling people, he personally did so himself. Only one slave was freed upon his death. And as for Mother Teresa, she was an evil and manipulative woman who took advantage of the poor to further the Catholic church's cause.
the only realistic part of this show...was Simcoe...the man who ended slavery in Canada in 1778.....Washington doesnt get his moment butchering a french peace envoy....they try to skip around the fact that in 1774 Lord Chief Justice Mansfield had ruled slavery had no basis in English common law which is what the revolt was about....it was about rich white men like Washington losing all their slaves...and whats funny is it took the empire till 1834 to finally end it so americans could have had another 60 years of rape and murder and slavery and avoided the civil war if they had just had the courage to be loyal
This is so hilariously historically inaccurate that I'm not even sure where to begin. 1. The first anti-slavery meeting in the English language took place in Philadelphia, chaired by Benjamin Franklin and other Colonial rebels. 2. Slavery did not end in the British Empire until the 1830s, long after the Revolution. 3. The British Empire was not attempting to end slavery in the 1760s/70s. 4. Slavery did not end in Canada in 1778. In fact, many Canadian slaves escaped into the American-controlled Ohio country due it not really having slavery but the Toronto-area itself having allowed slavery. 5. The American Revolution had nothing to do with slavery on either end. It had to do with liberal Enlightenment ideology (the U.S revolution was the first liberal democratic revolution in human history) and the British attempting to turn the Colonies in North America into under-developed agricultural export colonies ruled economically by an imperial trading desk in London. The colonists balked at this, they wanted to develop and expand, not be turned into impoverished hick farmer backwaters. This is what led to the American Revolution. Canada itself was turned into this by the British, an ag-export country, not allowed to industrially develop, its what led to the rebellions against the British in Upper and Lower Canada in the 1800s. Finally, the British were not a historically progressive force in this war and had no intention of stopping slavery or any of that. Its nonsense to suggest otherwise, all historical evidence and basic common reality points to the contrary. The Americans were a historically progressive force, in the sense that they helped spread, expand and solidify liberal democracy over Tory ideology and later inspired the overthrow of the Ancien Regimes in continental Europe. Even Marx and Lenin recognized this fact. The British fought to preserve reactionary politics and the past. They were an anti-progressive force in 1775-1783.

It would, but the sad fact is that the powers that be would rather keep any inconvenient truths from undercutting the popular narratives in their use as historical anecdotes to continue reminder future generations of past divisions at the expense of painful truths necessary to the healing of infested wounds.
@@ethrsag735 They are already whining about reparations, republicans, CRT - I really dont think its a "powers that be" conspiracy - I think no one simply has thought to write a series about it (except me)
@tellurye My point is that they'd rather keep the propagandized saints and devil's they've created to continue the division instead of promoting what really happened. Like how WW1 doesn't get enough attention for the problems that caused it and its second round, all they want to focus on is the Holocaust, despite the Holocaust deniers, and Hitler and his political party they've turned into the embodiment of evil despite the fact that it was the way they ended WW1 that gave rise to Hitler and they don't acknowledge that the party's atrocities were primarily pushed by a small group of individuals who used said manner in which WW1 ended to gain the support of the people. Same difference here where they'd rather focus on promoting the sainted version rather than any inconvenient versions.
Don’t give me that “Lost Cause” bullshit.
Love this series and never tire of it 💖☺️
3:00 The greatness of American revolution
My favorite show
Wonderful to have a president who values the principles of a free press, rather than one who constantly undermines that press when they report unflattering truths…
"rather than one who constantly undermines that press when they report unflattering truths…"
Yeah it was bizzare watching Obama constantly bash any news channel that refused to sing his praises... that was what you were referring to right? Because if you were talking about trump you would be criminally stretching the meaning of the word "Truth" in regards to the hysterically funny lies they told about trump for going on 9 years now...
@@rycs16 Trump lied more frequently than any modern president. Tens of thousands of his lies were tracked and reported. It’s actually pretty remarkable, if it wasn’t so horrific. Worst yet, is the member of cultists who still believe him to be worthy of office…
Such a Awesome telling of the story.
Awesome
Easily one of my favorite shows
And that's how the Washington Post got its name.
LONG LIVE GEORGE WASHINGTON. The man who paved the way for us to be here in this country I am willing to lay my life down for
Well said, Sir - Well said! I haven't seen this series. If this scene is typical of the series? I may just change that state.
It is typical I've watched the whole thing and I loved it they portrayed Washington very well he never lost this calm energy that you see here which is what I imagine him to have been like
Best scene of the whole series
Should be played on Fox news
Rivington the loyalist is forced to eat humble pie, great scene.
I watched a book review video one time. The Book, I do not remember its name but it was written by a British Officer and Historian. The Book was about the Greatest Generals in World History and to my surprise he ranked George Washington Number One
I hope some of the actors like Heather Lind and the others are in 2023 movies.
He is such a queen
*President
Washington’s grandson is the father in law of Robert E Lee
Step-grandson, but yes. Also, one of his favorite cavalry commanders was Lee’s father.
I wish they made a spy show on the Civil War speaking of Lee have you seen Robert Duvall’s portrayal in Gods and Generals?
@@arlonfoster9997 Personally I prefer Sheen. Duvall was a bit too wooden for my taste
@@joeszymaszek1146 I haven't seen Sheen or Gettysburg the movie. I thought Duvall was great and he looks like Robert E. Lee. Duvall is a direct descendent of Lee. I wonder if the cast of Washington's Spies have seen Gods and Generals. Wonder what the cast of the revolutionary era thinks about the war between the states. I would like to know. because slaves were portrayed on this show it's not illogical to think what the cast would think of the American Civil War. loved both Turn Washington's Spies and Gods and Generals. I hear Sheen is a great actor.
Though taking place a generation apart Turn Washington’s Spies and Gods and Generals have their share of historical inaccuracies
I love this. Liberty is listening to all
Imagine a Press wedded to objective facts on the front page, and politics expressed no earlier than page six,.. labelled "Opinion." How far the press hath fallen. 🔥👎🔥
Washington is much taller person than this
At least six foot twenty.
@@thinman25 weighs a f***ington
Whatever this is, it's sure well written. Is there more to this scene? What is this show? Is it called Turn? I see a show called Turn: Washington Spies, up in the corner. Damn do I like good dialog with good acting.
Yes its from the finale. Highly recommend this show!
Washington would be turning in his grave when he sees what America has become 😢
Washingtons` America died long ago , sadly. Now it is a woke , gangster loving, politically divided house on the road to hell.😪
Well, to paraphrase “Man in The High Castle”
Empires are little more than sandcastles. Only the tides are forever
what basicly taking Britain's place I think they'd be very impressed with what we did especially understanding the history of it
@@apollodiomedes203 racist series, terrible ending.
@@devilpupbear09 ending was terrible yeah.
The series absolutely had to be racist, I mean America was conquered by the Nazis? What else did you expect?
I believe Rivington was part of the Culper spy ring. He was loyal to Washington and the Americans and Simcoe by all accounts was an honorable well regarded officer by.both sides. The province of Ontario in Canada have a holiday named after Simcoe. There was a lot of things like this in that show (which I liked) but I never understood why they shook everything up.
Artistic license and storytelling
Well, for starters Anna Strong was considerably older than Abraham Woodhall and not the same age. I believe she was in her mid to late 30's in reality while Woodhall was in his mid 20's. So any romance between them would be unrealistic especially considering both were married(adultery was a big no no in those days). Also, Abraham's father Richard would live to see the end of the revolution and beyond and was not killed in a prisoner exchange.
@@Rockhound6165 Also Abraham Woodhull was unmarried and childless during his time as a spy
@@Rockhound6165 i had read somewhere that abraham was single and didnt have a son/family during the war, but afterwards he did
He married his wife after the war was over. To be honest though I am glad they did include her in the show. She was a good character and honestly for a dramatic turn she gave him more to lose than if she wasn't there.
There were several revisions. Although from what I have read Simcoe was tempered later in life, but he was a very fanatical soldier. Just not anywhere near the level we see in the show.
Liberty Gazette is needed today…. A former subject of HRH.
Great actors, great story.

General George Washington is history's greatest general!
The only point of battles won or battles lost is that you glean or lose the political currency to "purchase" the political force to make your opponent start doing or stop doing what you dictate.
General Washington was commander of the Continental Army. This army's efforts, under his command, purchased the power and space to create a new form of government, a republic wherein sovereignty rested with the people. The ideas embodied in the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of the United States caused a political earthquake through out the Western world.
Not too GD bad for someone with little more than militia level experience jousting with professional officers and highly disciplined regiments!!
Think of this when any government agent or leader tells to the press is against you or the government. The press isn't there to sing the glory of a government agent or leader. Yes there are some that do just as there are others who don't. Take the time and read both sides and decide for yourself.
The "greatness" didn't last too long did it.

His WIFE? Washington sounded deadly.
Man when did Paul Heyman decide to become an actor?
Ian Khan, best General George Washington *ever*.
He is a great Washington but I think Barry Bostwick from the 1984 series on Washington’s life was good.
Well not so much today
I always wonder how Washington would feel about how we turned out. Would he be proud of us? Disappointed?
As this the birth of the NY post?
Freedom of the press
Ah yes. The Cabbage Plot. Great Show.
It just shows that after all this...we haven't learned shit...

This is but one instance of many of why George Washington was the greatest human being other than Jesus of Nazareth.
Come on, dude. I wouldn't go THAT far.
@@PBurns-ng3gw Name another then? Either that or you don't know much about Washington. Do you know he could have been King of America, but refused it?
@@trplankowner3323 Lincoln ? Gandhi ? Nelson Mandela ? The Dalai Lama ?
@@Monatio79 Surely you jest! Gandhi is the only man on that list that deserves to be mentioned in the same sentence with Washington. Even for Gandhi, it was a much easier task. Gandhi had only to remain focused on his goal and stay true to his path. Admittedly, a feat far beyond most people! However, Washington was a man of action, he had to resist the temptation to seize the powers that lay before him, often with unobstructed access to them. I don't know of another human that has withstood such temptation. Also, if you were just going to list good and selfless people, I think it rather a disservice to humanity that you leave Mother Teresa off that list. She certainly far outshines Lincoln and Mandela shouldn't ever be listed with even people of Lincoln's stature. I find no fault in anything I know of the 14th Dalai Lama. I admire him and if it were in my power, I would liberate his people and restore him to Tibet today. His current principle oppressor, Chairman Pooh Bear Xi, should be found on lists with Mandela. However, he still doesn't rise to the level of even Mother Teresa. Lincoln was a man facing extremely trying times with good intentions and his assassination kept him from seeing all of those through. However, he also did some terrible things in pursuit of those goals. Things that Washington would never have done. Things we still suffer from today.
@@trplankowner3323 Washington personally mistreated his slaves and was a habitual liar. He never freed any slaves during his lifetime, nor did he do anything to free them as president. While hypocritically claiming that he was against the principle of selling people, he personally did so himself. Only one slave was freed upon his death.
And as for Mother Teresa, she was an evil and manipulative woman who took advantage of the poor to further the Catholic church's cause.

Man, use your brain for something besides a seat cushion you simplistic ass.
the only realistic part of this show...was Simcoe...the man who ended slavery in Canada in 1778.....Washington doesnt get his moment butchering a french peace envoy....they try to skip around the fact that in 1774 Lord Chief Justice Mansfield had ruled slavery had no basis in English common law which is what the revolt was about....it was about rich white men like Washington losing all their slaves...and whats funny is it took the empire till 1834 to finally end it so americans could have had another 60 years of rape and murder and slavery and avoided the civil war if they had just had the courage to be loyal
go back to your fantasy land there bud. Must be a hateful place XD
This is so hilariously historically inaccurate that I'm not even sure where to begin. 1. The first anti-slavery meeting in the English language took place in Philadelphia, chaired by Benjamin Franklin and other Colonial rebels. 2. Slavery did not end in the British Empire until the 1830s, long after the Revolution. 3. The British Empire was not attempting to end slavery in the 1760s/70s. 4. Slavery did not end in Canada in 1778. In fact, many Canadian slaves escaped into the American-controlled Ohio country due it not really having slavery but the Toronto-area itself having allowed slavery.
5. The American Revolution had nothing to do with slavery on either end. It had to do with liberal Enlightenment ideology (the U.S revolution was the first liberal democratic revolution in human history) and the British attempting to turn the Colonies in North America into under-developed agricultural export colonies ruled economically by an imperial trading desk in London. The colonists balked at this, they wanted to develop and expand, not be turned into impoverished hick farmer backwaters. This is what led to the American Revolution. Canada itself was turned into this by the British, an ag-export country, not allowed to industrially develop, its what led to the rebellions against the British in Upper and Lower Canada in the 1800s.
Finally, the British were not a historically progressive force in this war and had no intention of stopping slavery or any of that. Its nonsense to suggest otherwise, all historical evidence and basic common reality points to the contrary. The Americans were a historically progressive force, in the sense that they helped spread, expand and solidify liberal democracy over Tory ideology and later inspired the overthrow of the Ancien Regimes in continental Europe. Even Marx and Lenin recognized this fact. The British fought to preserve reactionary politics and the past. They were an anti-progressive force in 1775-1783.
