George Washington is a man who made history. He was the commander in chief who led the American colonies to victory in the Revolutionary War. As the nation’s first president, he defined the role, and he could have served more than two terms but chose to step down. Presidents’ Day was originally called Washington’s Birthday, though it was later changed to honor both Washington and Lincoln’s birthdays. George Washington is a giant in American history, but he was also a man. A farmer, to be exact.
