More About George Washington

As you know, George Washinton wasx the first president of the United States of America. He lived from 1732-1799. He fought many wars.  He fought in the wars against the French and Indians, serving as General Edward Braddock's aide in the disastrous campaign against Ft. Duquesne. His ability as a General, along with the French alliance and the growing weariness within Britain, brought the American Revolution war to a conclusion. Other wars that he was a part of were the American Revolution/ Bill of Rights (1791),  The Whiskey Rebelion in 1794, and the Constitution of the USA. Clearly, George Washinton was very involved with war towards the end of his life.
