George Washington

The first president of the United States, George Washington, was born in Pope’s Creek, Virginia, on February 22, 1732. As a child, he did not have much formal training, but when he was sixteen years old he learned how to survey land, which is a way of taking measurements and making maps. Later, he became the county surveyor. George Washington was a major in the Virginia militia in the early 1750s. He made a historic 300-mile journey to report to the colonial officials concerning the French presence in the Allegheny River Valley. In 1754, he fought against three hundred French soldiers at Fort Duquesne. By this time he had been promoted to colonel. A year later, during a fierce battle, two horses were shot from underneath him, but he survived unhurt. This same year, he was given the job of commanding all of the troops of Virginia. He was married in January 6, 1759 to Martha Dandridge Custis. Though he and Martha never had any children of their own, he did become a father to Jacky and Patsy, her children from a former marriage. Patsy later died of epilepsy, to Washington’s grief. As a result of the French and Indian War, England was given all of the land east of the Mississippi. Now the British government wanted to tax the colonies. Men such as Patrick Henry and George Mason, along with Washington, agreed that it was unfair for Britain to place a tax on the colonies when the colonies were not allowed power to make decisions with the British government.
