Hi
“Leadership is not only having a vision, but also having the courage, the discipline, and the resources to get you there.”
George Washington
But who is the disciple and where do I find one?
@@wingracer1614Whoops my bad sorry there was misspelled it was actually discipline
@@ethanramos4441 I knew what you meant but the thought of GW having a disciple was too interesting to pass up

If he talked about taking a painful shit, people would probably quote that too
George Washington was devoted to founding an independent nation and saw to it that it happened. He later served as President and did so with devotion to his newly formed country. He was not a perfect General or President but he put in a lot of effort. Everyone makes mistakes and so did Washington. His smart, caring choices are what I choose to focus on.
he turned down chance to be king and chose to do a president role , nobody ever perfect
He stood against the brits tyranny and changed the world one time after another. They got paintings of this guy and a whole continental army on rowboats looking for redcoats on christmas.
The Value of DEVOTION is what Washington taught us to keep America going. It's NOT about our personal PERFECTION. It's about our DEVOTION to see it to the END...How many of us will do that????
Well said!
he also turned down being king they asked him to be king he said no
Washington may have not been the best general in a purely military sense of winning battles with tactical prowess, but he won the Revolutionary War by keeping the army alive in critical battles such Trenton. At many points the army was very close to collapse such as at Valley Forge, but he had the respect from the troops that was critical. Truly he was the father of the country.
And with the help of France 😉
@@TheUltimateOpportunist The French were critical at many points later, especially at Yorktown but prior to the French involvement he was the vital leader without whom the army would have left service and the War collapse.
@@michaelroark2019 absolutely. Whilst he was an average tactician, his leadership skills certainly held things together.
I disagree
I think General George Washington was a suburb military strategist and should be place among the top 5 USA military leader. The victory at Trenton and Princeton was a masterpiece.
Washington didn't have much to work with. Congress didn't have authority to tax and didn't pay the troops or pay for supplies. It was a rag tag band that came and went most of the time he didn't have 8,000 troops to command
Some of my ancestors were with him at Valley Forge.
They probably deserted
Who cares about your ancestors bro. You dont get praised for what they did just like you dont have to answer for their crimes
Thanks for their service....and for you sharing this bit of history.
nice, enjoy your spanish lessons
Is your last name Pace?
Washington was a true man of his age. No, he never did chop down that cherry tree. However; he was stead fast in his beliefs. George believed in honor, discipline and, faith in his fellow man. The United States could not ask for a better General in war. And, I have to say; our model of a great President.
That cherry tree didn't chop itself down....
Yeah. How do you know he didn't chop it down. Dummy. Probly used a saw anyway.... Dummy
@@RogerinKC there was no cherry tree you dope
@@RogerinKC true but Mr. Weems did weave his own narrative.
I’d say stepping down after 2 terms as President will always be one of his biggest/greatest legacies. The office of President could have been anything he wanted it to be, yet he did his best to ensure it wasn’t an all powerful position.
The constitution doesn’t really lay out much about the executive branch and it’s powers rely mostly on tradition. A tradition that started with Washington and has continued for over 200 years.
Being from Pennsylvania its so cool to here so many of our hometown names and landmarks and highways as the actual men from whom the names originated
@bastiat Democrats 😅
I recently became very interested in the Founding Fathers after watching the HBO series John Adams. If anyone is remotely fascinated by colonial America and the events that led to our Independence, I HIGHLY recommend it. It’s so well done it’s like actually glimpsing into the 1700’s.
Isrullius I would definitely like to watch that as I've always been interested in our founding fathers and how radical they were considered at the time. But it's hard do download any HBo series do you have any suggestions?
One of the best pre revolutionary War mini series ever created was HBO Adams. Agreed 👍
@@denissullivan5035 If you are interested in that time, you should watch the series Turn. It is about Washington's spy ring on Long Island during the Revolution and has Washington, Benedict Arnold, and General Charles Lee as main characters. It is, in my opinion, the BEST TV show centered around the Revolutionary era.
You can't be a founding father when there were people already here.....
@@germainwilliams7073 the term applies to the founding of the Constitutional Republic, not the discovery of the geographic land mass
George Washington General, Statesman, President. He is Legendary and Forever will hold the title our First and Foremost Leader, Father of his Nation and still worth following his Exemplary Example of Humility, Honor and Sacrifice. A Great man never to be forgotten.
Hello Theresa how are you doing today?...i miss him so much he is one of the best we have ever had in the history of American government...what do you think about this post?
And look what running the country know might as well say no one Biden is one of the worst president along with Obama and Trump
TRUE
Plus him becoming the most prominent political figure in human history even after he survived a surrender to the french only to survive a suprise gurilla attack against the recoats turning the tides of the war again, its just impressive. He was fighting a 2 front war in the beggining!
So many times I wish I could have been there fighting under his command.
George Washington is the best president that we could’ve asked for ( to start the country with ) his integrity in my opinion is rivaled by no other president.
No integrity in my mind. His owned and beaten slaves. Even went heaven and earth to capture escaped ones.
A man who value freedom and liberty sure didn’t take his own advice.
George Washington is a scumbag and I don't think that this is his real name either
Except for all that slave owning
@angiek1827 He felt that was one of the first issues to confront when he became President but decided the nation was too young to solve it
@@angiek1827besides the newly brought slaves to the continent EVERY culture/society owned slaves. Even in Africa
He loved this country and put it first. Today's politicians should study and learn.
Thank you very much for this interesting matter of history. I recently discovered your channel. This is really what I was looking for...
"Let us therefore animate and encourage each other, and show the whole world that a Freeman, contending for liberty on his own ground, is superior to any slavish mercenary on earth."
George Washington, July 2nd 1776
Said the Forefather of slavery
Ironic
@@dianelove8147 proceeds to free them upon his and Martha's deaths.
@@dianelove8147 You are so ignorant. Slavery has been going on since man was put on Earth by God. Slavery is STILL going on in 2023. Your knowledge of history is grossly lacking. Washington was not the Forefather of slavery. I highly suggest you read up on all of the Asian Dynasties. Tell getting an education before you put such idiotic claptrap in writing. And it makes me ill to know people like YOU vote.
@@dianelove8147 A title too lofty to give to George Washington
@@dianelove8147 . He wasn't the forefather of slavery. The first slave owner in America was a black woman owning her own slaves and arriving with the very first settlers arriving in America
What blew me away as a fact I may have missed in the past, his mother lived long enough to see George be the US's first President.
So romantic and erotic
Pretty wild
.
@@TheAnnoyingBosssee if hi i I'm in up up up up up up us up up up olu
Yeah she lived long enough to see the full expanse of his wild career
This country could use a man like Washington again now!
He called for the constitution convention and came out of it President.
I'm him lol
Careful what you wish for 😊 ❤❤❤
@@kimberlys.t.7206 there was no Antifa terrorists causing trouble back then
@@kimberlys.t.7206 Why? We need a GW right now!
In answer to the question you posed at the end of the video, I believe Washington was a great man. He could never have achieved what he did - winning the American Revolution and becoming the first President of the United States, had he not been made of the right stuff. We were blessed to have him.
Washington was a complex individual who more than most exhibited the many traits that made America a independent and sovereign country.
❤😊 Indeed
How can someone who owned individuals against their will be great. Even people at the time thought slavery was evil and immoral.
@@Literal_Sense Washington is known to have had a moral conflict with slavery and freed his slaves upon his death, if I'm not mistaken. He was not a perfect man but was a product of the times in which he lived. It was clearly a mistake for a founder of the free world to own slaves, and a regrettable one at that.
@@Literal_Sensef there's anything in your home from China you've personally contributed to slavery. Hope the future people don't judge your character soley on this fact.
To Revisionist historians trying to paint George Washington as a bad person: we can talk all we want about the things Washington didn’t do, but we can’t refuse to accept all the great things the man did do
Washington, like all men of his time -Heck, like all men, had his flaws, but There is NO DOUBT: that with him and The other founders, America would NOT Exist
yeah wtf, this was a very red coat approach
Revisionist historians don't like to make ANY whteMan look good. It's so bias it's not even worth taking seriously.
@@test-201 no worries Americans will not be speaking spanish anytime soon
I feel the man and wife devoted their lives to the free country. I could not imagine the stress Mr Washington faced and conquered with the help of few or many. He was chosen to be the man and he accepted the role. He held his position high with honor and respect. I am actually at Yorktown on vacation and get cold chills thinking I may be standing where our Father of this country stood. Thank you George Washington for your courageous service and sacrifice. God bless America
That "Learned everything from book, and officers" wants me to learn more about knox.
He was our first secretary of defense too.
Great job telling his story I know it well. I also commend you for explaining the truth of his ties with slavery in an objective way when everyone wants to rewrite history that they never even learned in the first place. Subscriber earned.
It helps if we compare slavery to modern day abortion. Both were very unpopular with half the nation yet made legal by law. Both use others for selfish reasons, both predominantly effect black Americans...both tried to be overthrown by violence at different times. I think our founders would be shocked we'd ended 50 million of our own children's lives. As shocked as we are by. owning slaves
@@imout671 A very good point. Well stated!
That is not the same.
@@imout671 This is not NEARLY the same. I’m going to assume you have just never been taught what really goes on with Abortion and explain it to you simply. It’s a medical procedure which does not end with the taking of a life. In the majority of cases, it was necessary because either the mother’s life would have been in danger of taken to term, or the baby had a catastrophic malformation, meaning they would not have survived anyways. Even when unwanted pregnancies are aborted, they’re done at a time when there isn’t even a developed child in the womb, but rather a mass of undifferentiated stem cells; no brain, no heart, no nothing.
@@imout671Nice point and comparison
Very good. Hope you continue with more Presidents History
I had many ancestors that fought in the American Revolution. One of them, my 5th ggf Samuel Ellis was on duty one day when Washington rode up next to him on his horse. He pulled out his eyeglass and was looking at the British then casually handed it over to my 5th ggf and told him to take a look after which a long conversation ensued.
Awesome!
Thanks. I am looking forward to John Adams video.
Very well done video!
Washington was brave, principled and strong. We would never have had the country to survive without his example. I have visited Mt. Vernon twice and was awestruck by the experience.
"....would have never had...." ✔️
Did you visit the slave grave sites as well?
@@TheTruthAllDay yes. It was interesting
@@Martin-jk2ng It was evil
@@TheTruthAllDay he's talking about the experience, though, not the slavery itself, lol duh
George Washington was a great military figure whose inspirational leadership enabled a ragtag army to defeat the might of the British Empire, and a skillful politician whose pragmatism held the union together while the Constitution laid down its roots! He was tall.
and his hair was natural :D
I wish Ireland had done the same defeated the British
@bastiat4855sorry but " right wing" Christians formed abolitionist movements in America and Britain and they really pushed the idea that all men are equal in the eyes of God. Liberals are generally anti God in that they support immorality. However Words do change meanings over time.
@bastiat4855That a damn lie. He enslaved black people til the day he died.
@@Literal_Sensefolks be making up shit in the comments irony of a bad American education 😂
among the greatest men in history. no GW, no USA.
It is the wisest of men who chooses men superior in their educational and diplomatic ability as his subordinates trusting in their loyalty and integrity.
Loved this documentary. Love History. He was such an inspiration. Battle strategy too
Hello Janice how are you doing today?
The row boating across the river in winter on christmas for a suprise attack was pretty nuts. He had a lot of losses but he was the definition of you dont have to win the battle but you can still win the war. Hes also a perfect example of the pen is mightier than the sword. He kept having mutiny and they abandoned him at fort nessessity and they lost 1/3 of the men and surrendered yet washington lived. Got shot off his horse twice. And founded the most powerful nation in human history. It mean bro, few people have this kind of resumé. He was a real legitimate leader. Getting shot off his horse mid battle twice, he was really in it, he wasnt backseat driving like the major global militaries are today
Nothing says more about his character than his refusal to become King
The Greatest. He knew what America would become. He saw the bigger picture a few hundred years before it came to be.
They all did and there was always tyrants swooping in trying to take it away
Why were the more senior statesman such as George Mason, Roger Sherman, Samuel Adams, George Wythe not elected to the office of POTUS or VPOTUS?
Great documentary. Helps to be reminded how our founding fathers fought so hard for their beliefs.
It’s terrible. The cover image is of the British redcoats at roarks drift 100 years and 4000 miles away 😂
Most of them were hypocrites. Freedom and liberty… just not for black people. They don’t count.
Rip
…in slavery…
His tactics may not be always on point but he knows how to lead!
Hes pretty dang on point a lot man. The suprise attack and he also attempted to preduct where the enemy might be with varying degrees of success
Hes proof you can lose battles and still win the war
he also road his horse around on the front line of battles as one British guy said he saw him on horse but didn't know it was George Washington and didn't fire at him
The greatest American. He sacrificed his life and family to free this country. He could have decided not too. He was a kind, decent and Godly man.
Just like Donald Trump
@@stevemore3206 I hope that's sarcasm.
@@strongbird3499 nope do research and stop watching the View.
@@strongbird3499 No, it's not... Now go to your corner and cope harder.
@@xSTstSTx I don't take orders from drooling cult followers. I don't respect you. In fact, I barely consider you human.
George Washington is and always will be one of our founding fathers and our first President. That will never change, nor will my administration towards and for him.
Thank GOD for George Washington!❤
You don’t really hear ‘English Americans’ make a shout but he’s a great one!
By this point, they were still English - America was underway as being formed As a nation
A man that like Marcus Aurelius consistently tried to do his best serves as a figure that embodies all the best virtues and values one could hope to aspire too.
George Washington, regardless of his failings, was a remarkable leader who set some fine examples in his leadership of the United States. Thank you for everything, George.
I think Washington was a great leader.
Leaders who find an excellent staff and listen to them are great in my mind.
He was courageous as well and did not hesitate to put himself in harm’s way when he deemed it necessary.
….I will always be grateful to Lin-Manuel Miranda for so perfectly nailing Washington’s personality & beliefs in “Hamilton.” What could have been a re-writing of history, stands as a remarkably accurate representation of each of the founding fathers & their motivations…..
Just listen to Washington explaining to Hamilton his reasons for relinquishing power (the Presidency) in the song, “One Last Time”…..
It must be nice to have Washington on your side 😎
The greatest American who ever lived. PERIOD!
That's a great compliment. He was a black man, so do you still feel the same?
President Washington did what the circumstances dictated at the time, they were different times. No single person in the history of the world has gone through life without making mistakes. - Would be amazing to hear what Mr. Washington would say about how the USA turned out... a coast to coast transcontinental shopping mall, with oversized people, paying with credit cards out of their fanny packs, with huge homes, SUVs, ATVs, boats, central heating, a/c pools etc etc. and still find a way to be unhappy and depressed. Forget about serving in the armed forces.
All the black people running free 😂
@0:34 - I giggle on how the narrator pronounces "Maryland!"
Chester Nimitz when? We've had most of the other countries military leaders. Yet Nimitz seems to get over looked.
Great job bros!!! I want to do the same for both my parents!!! To see their genuine joy would be great!! To be able to give back after they’ve sacrificed so much, amazing moment you see the joy in your moms eyes would be a special moment!!! Like you said she’s happy and it’s not for the car but to have her son around means so much more!!!..
Great video
Washington was a shrewder man than most people give him credit for. He won the war and chose the man to win the peace. A General's General.
Also known as Cornelius Sulla. My favorite Roman figure.
There almost wasn't a Ceasar because of Sulla. He was on a Proscription list when he was just a teenager for him familiar ties to the General Marius. Luckily he survived
@@mikeroden213 yes Sulla was not a fan of Julius in the slightest.
I think George Washington was extremely talented in finding out what the people around him were good at and giving them tasks on which they would grow into even better leaders, friends, officers, Generals, Stetesmen and people.
Why were the more senior statesman such as George Mason, Roger Sherman, Samuel Adams, George Wythe not elected to the office of POTUS or VPOTUS?
One of the greatest men to have ever lived
That would be Hitler
I like how they gave us all equal representation in the senate so california cant overule me in new mexico oklahoma or kentucky.
I think Washington had more skill, intellect, and courage than all his critics combined.
The Courage Of Achilles
Love this narrator!
Even though he is a diety in American history, and even as a skeptical American, I think he was extremely self-sacrificing and a great decision-maker.
Good advisors makes a huge difference biblically speaking. Hik surrounding himself with people smarter than him in different ways than himself. Like franklin and jefferson. Aspects like that ensured usa wouldnt be engineered as a dictatorship or a democracy or a monarchy
How can people own land??? Land doesn't belong to anyone to be able to be sold.
Can you do one on friedrich engels please!!!
Those two talking trash anonymously thru print is the first social media trolling!
He became great thanks to Hamilton, Jefferson, Martha, and others. He did his part, yes. Surrounding himself with smart people
Why were the more senior statesman such as George Mason, Roger Sherman, Samuel Adams, George Wythe not elected to the office of POTUS or VOTES?
Can you make a video on Queen Mary (queen consort to King George V)? No rush, just a request!
Can you imagine George Washington having a conversation with Kamala Harris
There were 16 presidential terms before Washington starting with Peyton Randolph of Virginia. He opened the First Continental Congress on September 4, 1774.
But they were confederation presidents, Washington was the first president to be Recognized by the Constitution
“Washington naively believed slavery would die out naturally.”
This is a very valid belief, and it was on its way out before the civil war began.
As a matter of fact, race relations would have been better off had slavery been allowed to continue until it had fully been recognized as the economic dead end it was as the Industrial Revolution set in. It would have been abolished likely before then, on grounds of slaves being more expensive, and it being cheaper to simply pay free people low wages-you know, how life was for workers in the industrial era- rather than upkeep a bunch of slaves whose labor was being outpaced by new inventions.
It was not lost on the learned of Washington’s time that technology improves over time. Automatic weaponry, more efficient production methods, etc.. these were not fantastic stretches of the mind. They weren’t stupid. lol.
It is very easy to see that technology may go on to replace the need for human labor. This is a mindset we carry to this day.
Anyways, it’s okay to admit the civil war was a mistake.
Remember without the french there is no America.
Nah, the Continentals had it won by Saratoga.
And without The United States there would be no France. We bailed them out not once but twice in both World Wars. WW1 was at a a stand still until we came over and busted through the trenches and accepted German surrender in a year. Then IN WW2 Hitler conquered France In days. We, with our British and Canadian allies preformed the greatest act heroism in history by storming the beaches of Normandy and liberating France and crushing Nazi Germany.
Everyone give it up for Americas favourite fighting French man !
@@mikeroden213and then taking in Nazis
Hi friends, from a neighbor looking on, I feel he did everything asked of him and more and provided a steady hand and head in tough times. Kev
That so dumb that people would not do anything unless he is a President he did not want to be a president he just wants to live at home with his family but he had no choice
BEST GENERAL & PRESIDENT EVER IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. MUCH RESPECT TO YOU SIR.
Washington was and is a symbol for something in america. Literally, the beginnings of an ideology similar to "the american dream."
I've heard people crow about his mediocrity, how he took credit from wonderful people around him, and that he was a slave owner... but they are the one's that have never known anything about him beyond a meme on tiktok.
When i hear the name george washington, i immediately think of the army and those around him that made everything possible. He is a symbol of all of it. His being humble and modest started a lineage of stopping idiots and tyrants after 8 years in office, and that's good enough for me. If people even knew all of these peoples positions on slavery, if they were being honest, they would shut up quick.

George Washington, Marching to Kick Ass.
Marching not to give up. Taking Action
do a docu of general John J Pershing the grandfather of the U.S army and military.
you know what I, an 18 yo born and raised in the US think the most inspiring thing about George is? George Washington, the first president ever was concidered a very intelligent man and was basically completely self taught on politics and economics. He learned about war alone. Communication alone. Geography and geopolitics alone. Literally everything he did he did it alone yet when I say I want to be self taught and not go to college 70% of people think I'm insane and 30% think I'm gonna be the next Donald Trump. In conclusion, I think this says a lot about the state of college and its lack of help in creating monumental amounts of success in your life.
Trump is clearly insane but you seem to be ok in the brain
President George Washington and 3 other US Presidents are my 13th Great Uncle’s
imagine fighting so hard only to have the country you helped create become the thing you originally fought. founding fathers would be horrified to see america of today...
Can you imagine kids growing up like this these days 😂 my how awful that would be. Kids have no idea just how easy they have it even the most unfortunate

George Washington is still the best general the world has ever seen. He never gave up and fought right along with his men. Made a couple of not so good calls but he always backed them up and never quit fighting even afterwards in politics. He is proudly the FATHER of our nation! Great job to everyone who worked on this! Well done!!!
George Washington Was An Alien 👽
He never lost a battle enough to die. Even managed to surrender one and then lived to win another day. Think about that one bro thats wild. Its like 5d chess.
That I doubt as weapons were nothing like present day trust me being under fire then to now he wouldn't stand a chance today
Slave master pure and simple
If only the British had given this man a Royal Commission LOL...that's all he wanted
An awesome stateman!

Before I knew my entire genealogy I have always had a strong bond to our 1st United States President and the love and the strength as an American of civility, values, strength, and decency. These leadership attributes and American idealism continue in my children and grandchildren just as it has been passed down from everyone of my ancestors on my maternal and paternal side. Each one of these well known and unknown human beings of every nationality in my DNA, endured and survived to make this nation a beautiful country of laws, democracy, justice, and freedom for all. Each one through God’s grace and mercy were empowered to stay faithful and committed to the abominable spirit of American strength through every defining period of our nation’s history. God Bless America for our yesterdays, todays and tomorrows with love always, President George Washington’s 6th Niece Joan Ellen Kimbrough Gandy. ❤🇺🇸❤🗽💙⚖🙏🏼❤🙏🏽❤

Thanks for the story.
Who’s here after Shane Gillis?
Good one!
I love this type of history,
Washington was not the greatest General or political mind, but only Washington could hold the Army, Continental Congress and people together. Madison, Jefferson, Franklin and the rest of the Founding Fathers would be in the dust bin of failure without him. Perhaps the greatest genius of the Founding Fathers was the realization of that fact.
He was an honest and honorable man.
His mind is very powerful to think on every practical aspect of the field activities the war.
He is war hero and likes his country too much.
He has also medium intellectual capacity too.
George Washington paved the perfect leadership for the country with help of few lawyers and intellectual He had at time.
I appreciate overall capabilities He had at that particular time.
He is better than most leaders of 3rd world countries.
Best Regard!
Uso Mohamed M.
Thankful for him
Three things about George Washington: 1. He was educated by a Jesuit tutor. 2. He retired to his room every night at 9 PM to read his Bible until midnight. 3. He became a Catholic on his deathbed. The priest came across the narrow waterway from Maryland. You can see the Church from Mount Vernon and you can see Mount Vernon from the Church.
There were more than thirteen British colonies in North America. Some remained British - and not necessarily because their populations wished to do so - serving as the kernel that eventually became Canada.
Thanks for great work, you should do SS-general Karl Hermann Frank, French Marshal Ney, Charles XII of Sweden, SS-General Paul Hausser.
Don’t forget that he lived through faction, party bickering, assassination threats, deep national division, chattel slavery, back to back continental wars, rebellious generals, offers of a coup d’etat and near civil war. If the U.S. manages to make it 250 years, frankly I think he’d be proud.
You should do one on the man that saved the Revolution more than any single individual: Benedict Arnold. Without his bravery at Saratoga, the French never would have entered the war. A truly misunderstood man that today is just an archetype of traitor. But if you delve into the reasons why he turned, it is not black and white
He had massive pride issues and was greedy. He felt insulted that his "value" was appropriately recognized and rewarded. Thats clear cut. He was brave and close friend to Washington but failed morality ruined him.
