What is George Washington famous for?

Answer 1

George Washington (1732-1799) was the first President of the United States*, and a major figure in the establishment of the US, during and following the Revolutionary War. He is known as one of the Founding Fathers of the country, as well as being given the nickname "Father of His Country".

• He fought with the Virginia Militia on the British side during the "French and Indian Wars", the American colonial front of the European "Seven Years' War" (1754-1763).
• He commanded the armies of the US Colonies in the Revolutionary War (1775-1783). As a member of the First and Second Continental Congress, he helped draft the policies of the colonies, and was made commanding general of the Continental Army on June 14, 1775 (so he was not a signatory to the Declaration of Independence).
• He was a Virginia delegate again, and President of the Constitutional Convention in 1787, which adopted the Constitution to replace the Articles of Confederation.
• As President, Washington established the framework of the national executive branch. He oversaw the work to build a new national capital, and it was named Washington, DC, in his honor.

*To differentiate from Presidents of the Continental Congress, Washington is sometimes described as the first "President of the United States under the Constitution", and therefore the first Chief Executive of the country.

Washington became a president to a new country that was not very stabilized. He was able to maintain our country and form it into an independent nation from Britain. His ideas on not being part of a political party helped our country avoid feud. His belief and devotion towards republicanism made him a great leader and made America into a strong independent nation. Washington also created the First Cabinet and appointed four members. Since he created the Supreme Court, he appointed the first ten justices. Washington also helped create the first bank, which he signed the bill for once it was passed through Congress. Washington helped create the basic life that was need for America and created a stable environment that would help the next president carry on.

On something of a side note more of trivial value than any real historic relevance, George Washington was also fairly famous for having what was, at the time, a rather extraordinary set of dentures made out of ivory. In addition to that, he was oft admired for his skills as a dancer.
