    George Washington has always been one of my favorite presidents. After him would be Abraham Lincoln. I enjoyed the video as I’m sure Washington himself would’ve probably enjoyed.

      Do you know of anyone ever capturing anything like that at General Washington's home or grounds?
      I would not be surprised. Sprites often go to places they dearly loved. If I get any I will make hard copies and give them to you if you'd like.

      This is a great idea, we will pass it along to our creative team. As the General mentioned, he stood for the hands and head for the portrait but it was another fellow's body. In a deleted scene, the General explains that this is why the Landsdown portrait looks a little 'off' proportionally if you take a closer look.

    This video was made on February 7, 2020, and this was before COVID-19 was declared a pandemic worldwide and everyone had to quarantine in their homes, practice social distancing, study and work remotely. I wonder how President Washington would've reacted to the pandemic if he were to see the empty streets and people wearing face masks?
    P.S: I wanna see more videos of style of older presidents reacting to the modern world.

    Though, in reviewing the incidents of my administration, I am unconscious of intentional error, I am nevertheless too sensible of my defects not to think it probable that I may have committed many errors. Whatever they may be, I fervently beseech the Almighty to avert or mitigate the evils to which they may tend. I shall also carry with me the hope that my country will never cease to view them with indulgence; and that, after forty five years of my life dedicated to its service with an upright zeal, the faults of incompetent abilities will be consigned to oblivion, as myself must soon be to the mansions of rest.
    Relying on its kindness in this as in other things, and actuated by that fervent love towards it, which is so natural to a man who views in it the native soil of himself and his progenitors for several generations, I anticipate with pleasing expectation that retreat in which I promise myself to realize, without alloy, the sweet enjoyment of partaking, in the midst of my fellow-citizens, the benign influence of good laws under a free government, the ever-favorite object of my heart, and the happy reward, as I trust, of our mutual cares, labors, and dangers
