George Washington
George Washington (1732–1799)
George Washington was born into a mildly prosperous Virginia farming family in 1732. After his father died when George was eleven, George's mother, Mary, a tough and driven woman, struggled to hold their home together with the help of her two sons from a previous marriage. Although he never received more than an elementary school education, young George displayed a gift for mathematics. This knack for numbers combined with his quiet confidence and ambition caught the attention of Lord Fairfax, head of one of the most powerful families in Virginia. While working for Lord Fairfax as a surveyor at the age of sixteen, the young Washington traveled deep into the American wilderness for weeks at a time.
British Army Service
Tragedy struck the young man with the death of his half brother Lawrence, who had guided and mentored George after his father's death. George inherited Mount Vernon from his brother, living there for the rest of his life. At the time, England and France were enemies in America, vying for control of the Ohio River Valley. Holding a commission in the British army, Washington led a poorly trained and equipped force of 150 men to build a fort on the banks of the Ohio River. On the way, he encountered and attacked a small French force, killing a French minister in the process. The incident touched off open fighting between the British and the French, and in one fateful engagement, the British were routed by the superior tactics of the French.
Although hailed as a hero in the colonies when word spread of his heroic valor and leadership against the French, the Royal government in England blamed the colonials for the defeat. Angry at the lack of respect and appreciation shown to him, Washington resigned from the army and returned to farming in Virginia. In 1759, he married Martha Custis, a wealthy widow, and thereafter devoted his time to running the family plantation. By 1770, Washington had emerged as an experienced leader—a justice of the peace in Fairfax County, a member of the Virginia House of Burgesses, and a respected vestryman (a lay leader in his church). He also was among the first prominent Americans to openly support resistance to England's new policies of taxation and strict regulation of the colonial economy (the Navigation Acts) beginning in the early 1770s.
About the Author
what did george washington think about alliances with other countries?
I'm doing a history debate and its about whether the us should make alliances with other countries and we have to do it through the opinions of George Washington and Woodrow Wilson. I'm George Washington and all i know is that he's against alliances, but i don't know any details.
Washington's foreign policy positions were very much defined by the situation of the time. The US was very small and weak compared to the major powers of Europe. It had virtually no army or navy beyond the civilian militias that had fought the Revolution.
The great benefit of the US was that it was relatively isolated. Major European powers of Britain, France, and Spain were regularly at war with one another. The US was an ocean away and could remain away from the fighting.
Still, European powers were regularly trying to draw the US into disputes on their side to fight the other powers. Americans themselves were divided on which countries with which to ally themselves.
Washington implemented a policy of neutrality. The US would not form military alliances with any other countries. It sought only to be left alone and to engage in free private trade.
