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.
