    George Washington was one of our greatest presidents. He selected to great men as Sectetary of State, Thomas Jefferson, and Sectertary of the Treasury, Alexander Hamilton. He was able to put down the Whiskey Rebellion, with the price of people being upset. After all his great deeds he said his Farwell Address, warning Americans to beware the political parties and alliances with other countries.

      Yes indeed George Washington was a great president. He was against having different parties such as democrats and republican. And I agree that we should have listened to him. The only thing that I dislike about George Washington was he had slaves. But all in all he is possibly one of our greatest presidents yet.
