George Washington battles with British. George Washington was in many battles in the 1700s and was in some big positions. He needs to make good decisions to make the colonies happy. About 2.5 million people (about twice the population of Hawaii) depending on him. Will he make good decisions of his and the colonist's freedom from British? He was our president Will he fight with British again? George Washington was wanted for President three times will he, do it?

George Washington’s young years made him like he was as an older man. On February 22, 1732, there he was our later founding father George Washington was born in Westmorland County, Virginia. The Washington was hardworking on the plantations. They were also adventuring because they moved five times while George Was young, but George's favorite was Mount Vernon. He had a lot of family his mother Mary Ball Washington, father Augustine Washington, brothers Samuel Washington, John Augustine Washington, Charles Washington, sisters Betty Washington, Mildred Washington, Half Brothers, Butler Washington, Lawrence Washington, Augustine Washington Jr., Half-sisters, Jane Washington. The more family he has the more support they have for each other. The Washington family were Anglicans. An Anglican is Christian and Catholic. George was homeschooled. He was taught to read and write from his mother Mary Ball Washington after his dad died. Had went to a public school at the age of 15 and got an even better education he had in the years but is still young to the United States. George liked horseback riding, breeding dogs, farming, and hunting. He had a good early life, but it gets even better.

George was a young man in search of adventures with the help of George Washington's brother Samuel Washington and Georges dad to influence him to become a leader rather than a follower, And George wanted freedom from British rule so that meant no more fights too. But there were fights against British like it’s a regular thing with all the fighting but George doesn’t want this, so he tries to do anything, but the King says no freedom and taxes more and more. He just wanted to keep going and not stop.

The hard times. To win the war George and the colonists had to get through the trained and Ready British army. But the colonists ran out of ammunition. When they ran out of ammunition they went to Lexington and got the supplies that they could carry and dumped the rest so no one could use all the supplies to beat them. The supplies got dumped in rivers and even blown up some of the supplies. But he was determined.

George Washington had many accomplishments but here are two. He was the first president of our United States and made good decisions for the colonies to be happy and get free from British rule. But America taught he was a trustworthy and responsible leader. He was awarded for winning the battles as a general in the Continental army. Now we are free from British king. Another accomplishment was when he was our first army General. He is the reason we got free from British because he won the battles and there is no more war with British. Then the 13 colonies got free but now we all remember him for being the first president and the fist General of the Army. He had big and more accomplishments, but I can't name them all.

The saddest thing ever. It was a bad night in Mount Vernon, George had a throat infection lying in the bed was George with a nurse next to him. suddenly death in the bed. On December 14. 1799 our founding father or our first president died in bed. George Washington died of a throat infection he had for 1 week. George Washington is buried in the family vault in Mount Vernon family vault. Something interesting about the throat infection is that it killed his half-sister Jane Washington too. George was a good man for the U.S.A and will be remembered.

George was a great and was in our memories of being general and president but also had some hard times. But he accomplished almost everything and all of these the things he could not have done this without them. He had help of colonists and people who wanted freedom will always be remembered in the whole United States. We can celebrate his loyalty on his birthday he has many monuments and president's day he was even on the quarter and the five-dollar bill. He can always be remembered but most of all he was our hero.
