Who was the first president of the United States?
You probably know the answer: George Washington. But how much do you actually know about the man?
In today’s episode, I want to take a deeper look into George Washington’s life because I think it is a remarkable and fascinating story. And if you’re not from the USA, you probably don’t know too much about him.
We’ll discuss his childhood in Virginia, his rise to the commander of the Continental Army during the American Revolution, and how he became the first president of the United States. I’ll also talk a little bit about what the presidency looked like in the 1790s, the challenges he faced, and whether he was a good president.
