George Washington was a conservative landowner who helped transform a bunch of quarrelsome states into a cohesive nation – and drafted the American Constitution.

You people are ridiculous! So George Washington had slaves, was it wrong? Of course, does that mean that everything he did should be discredited? Should we not thank and honor him for all the good he did? And learn your history, George Washington and a few other founding fathers were gonna free black men in the constitution, but they needed all delegates to sign in order for it to be official and the southern delegates refused. So they had to pass it anyway. Gosh people are so close minded.

It is sad that most people think they know the truth without ever actually looking it up. All opinion based immature thoughts. Washington had slaves yes but, also it was law that you could not just set them free. He never bought a slave and did not treat them badly. Before you think you can judge you better know facts and opinions are two different things. The Indians even had a prophecy about him look it up FACTS are TRUTH and some people need to learn this.

@TheSupercat91 Nope, i rather remain free from the British crown. If we were, then we would not be making good movies and stuff. Also we would have gone into WW1 in 1914 which is not good for us.

Washington started the first Global war, It was Washington in British uniforms who attacked the French and world war started. North America and other parts of the world end up in British lands. Washington then united the Colonial immigrants against the British taxes and American Natives and started the US-Revolution. Colonial-Franco Alliance defeats the British Force in 13 Colonies and British Goverment agrees independence the birth of the United States and end of the American Natives.

All of you who want to re-write history are shooting yourselves in the foot. Why did they name Washington D.C. after George Washington? Most of the history of Washington has been changed or expunged as the progressives don’t want you to know the truth. All the people who lived in this country were not bad people as you now declare. Some bought slaves to protect them but you won’t hear about that. All you know is they were slave owners. In that day that is all they could do to help.

To you people that keep referring him as just a slave owner. I suggest you read more about the truth of him and his slaves which includes State Laws of the time. For your opinions that are derived from others is doing no good for you but make you look foolish. The facts are their it is just your choice. You can read the facts or read someones opinion.

Yes I do agree. There are many many stories that have been missed in this about Washington and it really does everyone an injustice. I do believe if we knew more about him that people would try and be like him. He had his faults but as humans we all have them. But this man by far is the Greatest American that ever lived.

What a shitty documentary. Not only does it leave out a lot of details of the revolution, they also have some shady-ass historians that give their personal opinions which should never be done in documentaries about history.

GEORGE WASHINGTON WAS NOT THE FIRST PRESIDENT of the United States. He was the 8th President of the United States
John Hansen. The Maryland delegate to the Continental Congress was elected president in 1781, just before the time of Lord Cornwallis’s surrender at Yorktown, Virginia.
His official title was “President of the United States Assembled”

@mard420 That’s true, actually. I don’t mind Republics, but an English or British republic is a definite no no. That would shit in the face of thousands of years of history. Our monarchy is one of the few things that have remained the same sime our beginnings.

January 12, 2012 at 4:22 pm
@mard420 I wouldn’t say so. Oliver Cromwell was an excellent general who struck fear in the hearts of his enemies. Washington was a great leader of men, BUT a shit general. France had to bail out his armies.

@dtt1900 I agree, ad I wonder why there seems to be o in-depth documentary biography of George Washington. Is there a lack of research materials available to historians to put together a closer look at Washington? I know that Martha Washington burned their personal correspondence. We’ve learned a lot about John Adams because Adams disobeyed his wife’s wish that he burn their personal correspondence. Perhaps Martha Washington burned ot just letters but all personal papers?
