George Washington: Father of the United States
George Washington lived from 1732 to 1799. He played a big role in forming and shaping the United States—as a military commander, as a politician, and as a leader.
images/img-4-1.pngGeorge Washington played an important role in helping free the American colonies from British rule.
Military man
The United States was first formed from 13 separate colonies (see the map on page 8). These colonies were under the rule of Great Britain for most of the 1600s and 1700s. However, in the 1770s, the American colonists decided that they wanted to join together and form their own country, without British rule.
At this time, George Washington was considered the top military man in all of the land. So when the colonies formed a military, they put him in command. Washington led this army in the war to free the colonies from British rule. He fought for many years and eventually won.
President
After the war, George Washington was very famous and respected. The new country needed a leader, and everyone thought Washington was the perfect choice. He was elected the first president of the United States, serving from 1789 to 1797.
