George Washington, first president of the United States, earned the epithet Father of His Country for his great leadership, both in the fight for independence and in unifying the new nation under a central government.

Washington was born in Westmoreland County, Virginia, and worked as a surveyor in his youth. In he inherited a family estate, Mount Vernon, upon the death of a half brother, Lawrence. Washington's military career began in , when he accepted an appointment to carry a warning to French forces who had pushed into British territory in the Ohio valley. In subsequent military assignments, Washington distinguished himself against the French, first while aiding General Edward Braddock and later as commander-in-chief of all Virginia militia. In Washington returned to civilian life as a gentleman-farmer at Mount Vernon and soon took a seat in the Virginia house of burgesses.

As a planter, Washington had firsthand knowledge of the economic restrictions being imposed by Britain, and as a Virginia legislator, he supported political efforts to curtail British control of the colonies.

Washington was selected to serve as a delegate to the first and second Continental Congresses, and in June he was chosen to command the American forces. He successfully led the Continental army through eight difficult years of war for independence.

In , after the Revolution, Washington resigned his military commission to Congress at Annapolis, Maryland. Recognizing the need for a strong central government, he served as president of the federal convention charged with drafting the Constitution. Reluctantly, he accepted the will of his colleagues to become president of the new nation, and he was inaugurated in New York City on April 30, Contending with the ideological struggles within the government, and with hostilities between France and Great Britain, Washington greatly feared the growth of political parties and the dangers of foreign involvement.

These issues impelled him to serve a second term as president. His attempts to solve foreign relations issues during his second term resulted in Jay's Treaty , a vain attempt to regulate trade and settle boundary disputes with Great Britain, and the Pinckney Treaty , which successfully settled such issues with Spain. Washington also acted vigorously to enforce federal authority by quashing the Whiskey Rebellion, during which liquor producers in western Pennsylvania threatened the new republic by rebelling against an unpopular excise tax on whiskey.

Washington's Farewell Address to the nation emphasized the need for a unified federal government and warned against party faction and foreign influence.
