I heard he chopped down a cherry tree and was very important to some country... Oh! Right! He had some thing to do with the United States getting their freedom! (My sister's a muggle. That's how I know.)

Um... killed a tree? I'm sorry Lord Gamver that's not true. poisonblades you're sort of right, he was the general for the American army. So... 5 points to Ravenclaw!
Anyone else know something?

George Washington chopped down a Cherry tree but didn't lie to his father about it. He was also the First President in the United States of America, so basically he was the first non-king there. He was a General in the Revolutionary War, and a good one at that. He stopped Monarchy in the USA.

He was the general of the CONTINENTAL ARMY. He lead his troops to Trenton where they ambushed (or at least attempted to ambush) the British.
Yea, you know that famous painting with da boats and the ice and the George Washington and the Flag and the troops, bravely and proudly sailing towards land? Yea, that one.
Well, that painting is great, but in reality it was different (according to my oh-so-wonderful history teacher). Georgie and his there troops were probably going the OPPOSITE way, ducking down in the boats instead of standing, and not to mention being shot at. Georgie and his troops over there were likely saying "Oh crap we're gonna die". So...
But, anywho, Georgie's stunt brought lots of support from the colonies. Hooray.

Oh and Georgie must have been a decent-- not BRILLIANT, but decent general. He DID have to lead everyone into battle, with no one to follow. That is HARD TO DO. So he has my respect for that...

He has the respect of everyone else, too (except maybe the Brits). Why ELSE do ya think he was chosen for as the first OFFICIAL president (official, mind you)?

Read on, stranger, but take great heed Of what awaits the sin of greed, For those who take, but do not earn, Must pay dearly in their turn. So if you seek to steal my stories, God will be the least of your worries. Thief, beware, you have been warned, There's nothing like a woman scorned!
