President

       I think George Washington is one of the best presidents for quite a few reasons. I have lots but I'll give you my five most basic and simple reasons.
      Number one he was our nation's first president. To me this signifies that he was one of the great people who united our nation. He was a natural leader which brought him to the rank in the army general. His ability to be a leader made him the first president.
     My second reason is that he was one of the Founding Fathers. The Founding Fathers are a group of men who made the drafts of the Constitution and signed the United States of America Declaration of Independence. The Founding Fathers were the law makers of the US and without them America wouldn't be like this right now.

     My third reason is that he was one of the leaders that gave the US freedom from Europe in one of the final attacks which defeated the British. If he hadn't done that we would still be fighting the British.

     My fourth reason is that he started up the democracy in the US by being president not king. Kings have absolute power presidents don't. Imagine if he hadn't agreed to be president to start the democracy? Would we have a supreme corrupt ruler? Or would he have a fair government?

   My last reason is that he was the only one in the Founding Fathers to release his slaves after death. By doing this he gave a little momentum to the prospect of no slaves at all in the US. If he hadn't done this you or me might be slaves to some rich white man. He with this action helped give freedom  to blacks.

    Overall, I think George Washington was one of the greatest presidents to ever have lived and be part of our democracy. He has done so many great deeds that his name is known nationwide not only because of his title of first president.
