 * He was the first preside nt and our founding father he made our country a better one. One mistake was Washington favored Hamilton over Jefferson of the plans to establish the nation al credit and build a national bank. **** People back then respected him as a leader and a good man and so do people now. George Washington was a greatly revered and honored military leader. Some good things about George was his courage, energy, he was calm when he was in danger, smart, military experience, respected, brave, cautious, honest, and a strong leader. A couple bad things about George were he has a hot temper, not the best at communicating, and a very shy awkward public speaker. George Washington was commander in chief of the Continental army during the American Revolution([]). I think George was a good president because he received the nickname "Father of our Country" and he served for two terms, 8 years. Also, he was always trying to become a better man, he always worked on his writing so people could read it. To improve his manners he copied 110 rules or sayings written by French Priests. It is said of Washington, " First in war, first in peace, and first in the hearts of his countrymen". Washington was a good general, at one point congress could not pay the soldiers and the soldiers started to rebel. The General spoke to them of the need to keep on fighting and he said him self he would accept no pay until the war was won. The soldiers began to cry and there was no talk of mutiny after that day. Some things that George Washington did to make an impact on America was being the first president, In 1799 he became ill with a sore throat and doctors back then didn't know what to do so some of there treatments caused him death. George Washington died a loving respected man in December 14th 1799 at age 67.  **
