        George Washington is unusual in that he combined in one career many outstanding achievements in business, warfare, and government. He took the leading part in three great his­toric events that extended over a period of 20 years. After 1775, he was animated by the purpose of creating a new na­tion dedicated to the rights of man. His success in fulfilling that purpose, places him in the first rank among other histo­rical figures of world history.

        After the war, Washington took a leading part in making the Constitution and the campaign for its ratification. Its suc­cess was assured by 1797, at the end of the second term of his presidency. In 1799, the country included nearly all its present- day territory between the Atlantic coast and the Mississippi River.

        A national army and navy came into being.

       George Washington was a brilliant leader. As he inspired his soldiers through two wars, he saw himself serving his coun­try. Not leading it. When he accepted two terms as president,he saw himself serving God and his country in peacetime. He turned down a third term as president, wishing only one thing, to retire to his family home, Mount Vernon.

        Americans celebrated George Washington’s Birthday while he was still alive. They were grateful for a strong leader who had proven that democracy was a feasible way to govern the growing country.
