No..Although George's handbook listed his early education; there is no mentioning at all that he chopped down a cherry tree, nor any mentioning of his father ever owning a cherry tree..He may had chopped down some small branches from an oak or pine when he was a small boy ; but it would't had been a cherry tree.

Did Abraham Lincoln cut down the cherry tree?

No,he did not. George Washington did. He didn't actually cut down the cherry tree. It's only used as an example to let Americans know that George Washington could never tell a lie starting when he was a little boy.


Where does the legend of George Washington chopping down a cherry tree come from?

The legend of George Washington chopping down a Cherry Tree, is indeed an allegorical story, something that Freemasons and other elite secret societies have kept to themselves, and have especially kept from Moorish (so called Black/African American) people. It's an ancient legend that stems from Moorish History, and the secret relationship between the 13 so called American colonies and the Moroccan Empire. The nickname of the Moorish National Flag, that most Americans would call the Moroccan Flag, is the "Cherry-Tree", because of it's red & green colors, and because we as Mighty Moors, like our flag, stands tall. General Washington, chopping down this cherry tree, represents him breaking the Treaty of Peace & Friendship between the American colonist and the Sultan of Morocco and the enslavement of so called African human resources, the defeat of the Moors. Your Welcome-Sincerely, Khairi R. Khan-Bey.

Who won the battle of fort necessity?

This was early in the French and Indian war, and was won by the French. Very young and completely inexperienced George Washington was in command of the Virginia troops, and chose a very poor site for the fort he felt he must try to build. The location was dominated by high ground all around, upon which the French could take position and fire directly down into the fort, which was poorly and hastily built and incomplete. After enduring a few hours of this fire from the high ground Washington had to surrender.
