         George Washington was a young and courageous man who helped America become an independent nation by winning the war against the British. After the war, the colonists wrote the constitution. Washington wanted to return home to a peaceful life with his wife and family. But was not able to because his friends convinced him to run for president and he was chosen as the first president of America. After two terms as president, his friends asked him to run again but Washington recused. He thought that it would give him to much power like a king. So, Washington who was eager returned to his home at Mt. Vernon where he died. Washington’s legacy remans to this day and our country’s capitol is named after him “Washington D.C.”
