George Washington became the President of the United States, not its king.
Colonel Nicola, spokesperson for his fellow officers, handed Washington the opportunity to become King! Yet, without hesitation it was turned down in no uncertain terms. A truly lasting tribute to his patriotic character.
Pleased with Washington's performance as General of the colonial troops, a Colonel Lewis Nicola wrote to General Washington expressing his belief that a Republic would be the worst kind of government for the new country, based on its lack of stability. He therefore suggested George Washington become king instead. Washington was not happy about this suggestion at all.
George Washington served as the president of the Constitutional Convention and became the first president of the United States of America. Ironically, after the Revolutionary War was over, he was offered the chance to become king. He declined, citing he had just fought a war to overthrow one despot, and he didn't want the distinction of becoming another one.
