## Bio

Born in colonial Virginia in 1732, Washington commanded the Virginia Regiment during the French and Indian War before joining the opposition to British rule through the House of Burgesses. Appointed commander-in-chief of the Continental Army in 1775, he led an ill-equipped force through early defeat in New York, surprise victories at Trenton and Princeton in 1776-77, and criticism over losses at Brandywine and Germantown, until a combined French-American siege at Yorktown forced British surrender in 1781. After presiding over the Constitutional Convention in 1787, he was unanimously elected the first U.S. president in 1788 and again in 1792, navigating cabinet rivalries between Jefferson and Hamilton, adopting neutrality during the French Revolution, and establishing the two-term limit. A slaveholder at Mount Vernon who opposed the institution late in life, he provided for manumission in his will and died in 1799, leaving a farewell address warning against partisanship and foreign entanglement that became a founding text of American republicanism.
