About George Washington

Birthday: February 22, 1732 Relationship Status: Married to Martha Washington Religious Views: Christian - Anglican Political Views: I oppose political parties Hometown: Mount Vernon, Virginia

I was born in Virginia and even early in life pursued a career in business and in the military. I served as a Commander in the French and Indian War. When the war was over I returned home and where I felt hindered by the British government. Between writing the Fairfax Resolves with George Mason and attending the First and Second Continental Congress, I became one of the leaders in the call for revolution. I was appointed the Commander-in-Chief for the Continental Army and after our amazing forces defeated the British at Yorktown, I was elected the first President of the United States. After serving two terms in office, I felt it was time to return home to Mount Vernon.

Notes My Farewell Address

Fairfax Resolves

By George Washington – September 19, 1796

By George Mason – July 18, 1774

Friends and Citizens: The period for a new election of a citizen to administer the executive government of the United States being not far distant, and the time actually arrived when your thoughts must be employed in designating the person who is to be clothed with that important trust, it appears to me proper, especially as it may conduce to a more distinct expression of the public voice, that I should now apprise you of the resolution I have formed, to decline being considered among the number of those out of whom a choice is to be made. I beg you, at the same time, to do me the justice to be assured that this resolution has not been taken without a strict regard to all the considerations appertaining to the relation which binds a dutiful citizen to his country; and that in withdrawing the tender of service, which silence in my situation might imply, I am influenced by no diminution of zeal for your future interest, no deficiency… (Read more)

Resolved that this Colony and Dominion of Virginia can not be considered as a conquered Country; and if it was, that the present Inhabitants are the Descendants not of the Conquered, but of the Conquerors. That the same was not setled at the national Expence of England, but at the private Expence of the Adventurers, our Ancestors, by solemn Compact with, and under the Auspices and Protection of the British Crown; upon which we are in every Respect as dependant, as the People of Great Britain, and in the same Manner subject to all his Majesty's just, legal, and constitutional Prerogatives. That our Ancestors, when they left their native Land, and setled in America, brought with them (even if the same had not been confirmed by Charters) the Civil-Constitution and Form of Government of the Country they came from; and were by the Laws of Nature and Nations, entitiled to all it's Privileges, Immunities and Advantages; which have descended to us their… (Read more)

Notes My Farewell Address By George Washington – September 19, 1796 Washington’s Farewell Address was not a speech, but rather on open letter to the American people published in the American Daily Advertiser (Philadelphia’s major newspaper) and would later be printed by nearly every newspaper in the country. In this address, Washington announced that he did not intent to run for a third-term as President. He also gave two parting bits of wisdom to the American people, one of which would shape our foreign policy for over a century. His first bit of political wisdom was that we should avoid political parties. Washington believed that candidates should run on their own merit and not under the banner of a political faction. The second piece of wisdom Washington gave in this address was that we should remain out of European affairs. He cautioned the Americanpeople that "The nation which indulges toward another an habitual hatred or an habitual fondness is in some degree a slave.” While he was mostly discussing our relationships with Britain and France, this word of caution helped the USA form a policy of isolationism until World War I when the Lusitania was attacked and American civilians were killed by a German U-Boat.

John Adams wrote: It was an honor and a privilege to serve as Vice-President during your time as the President of our great nation. I, as well as every American, owe you a debt of gratitude. Enjoy your time at Mount Vernon. Please send my regards to Martha. Martha Washington, Thomas Jefferson, and 1776 others like this

Notes Fairfax Resolves By George Mason and George Washington – July 18, 1774 Following the British monarchy imposing the Intolerable Acts, the movement for independence in the colonies gained momentum. George Washington called a meeting on July 5, 1774 so that delegates could draft what they believed their rights were. While many regions and colonies issued statements protesting British laws they believed to be unconstitutional, this was one of the first to imply military action if Britain didn’t take their demands seriously. The Fairfax Resolves demanded fair representation in Parliament, control over taxes and military forces in their borders and control over trade.
