French and Indian War (George Washington) Exploration Independent Assignment (20 MINS and 20 PTS TOTAL)
Listen to the following quote: “First in war, first in peace, and first in the hearts of his countrymen.”
Whom do you think that this quote refers to? In your own words, what do you think this quote means to you?
Listen to the following passage: “First in war, first in peace, and first in the hearts of his countrymen.” These
words were included in the memorial to George Washington by the U.S. Congress at the time of his death. They
were intended to recognize Washington’s significant contributions to the country as Commander in Chief during
the Revolutionary War and as the first President of the United States. While Americans today recognize
Washington as the first president, many do not realize his importance as a military leader. After all, had it not
been for Washington’s success in the Revolutionary War, there would not have been a first President of the
United States. George Washington’s military achievements can be viewed in three ways: Washington’s
understanding of military power, use of strategic retreat, and war victories.
