During the entire war Washington and his men faced adversity in lack of gunpowder, clothing and blankets for everybody. A poor supply chain was his greatest issue in the war and he had to get all of his extra resources from greedy states who didn't want to help and many others to.

Washington helped create the constitution by making an atmosphere to make it easier for the congress to debate about what should go on it. George Washington never let himself have a bias during the debate as if he did it could sway it in a bad direction.

One of the many things to come out of George Washington 's extraordinary life is the many firsts he seems to have undertaken. As president, he once again had to set the standard for all who followed him into the office. The list below represents some of the major things Washington did first as president that established a precedent for future leaders of the position.

Appointing Judges. One of the first challenges that President Washington faced was filling the vacancies in the newly created Judicial Branch of the federal government. It would fall on Washington to nominate qualified candidates to appointment to fill these seats. Some judges only served a handful of years before moving onto other ventures or retirement. In all, Washington appointed 38 judges to the federal court system.

Ceremonial purposes. The presidency was supposed to be subservient to the Legislative Branch upon creation, but having George Washington serve as the nation's first president instantly created a cult of personality around the position. He was the face and main attraction of the entire government. Because of this, Washington was invited to attend just about every local ceremony that honored a new building or ship being constructed. He laid the cornerstone for the future Capital Building in the city that would carry his name in 1793. He also participated in several Masonic building ceremonies because of his membership to the organization. And, he officially recognized Thanksgiving. On Thursday, November 26, 1789, he declared it the first national holiday.

Chief foreign diplomat. The Executive Branch serviced foreign policy relations, and the president would serve as the primary diplomat to all nations. Washington welcomed envoys from Spain, France, and Great Britain during his presidency, as well as dozens of members of various Native American tribes. Though he believed the position to be one of importance and needed to be shown respect, Washington did not believe the president was above seeing and speaking with envoys. The American presidency was not a European monarchy and Washington wanted that to be known whenever possible and welcoming delegates and foreign ambassadors on an equal footing with him showed the difference.

Chooses a Cabinet. One of the uncertainties at the start of the new federal government would be who serviced the various tasks of implementing the government's policies. The government had to function and experienced individuals could only be trusted with performing these responsibilities. Washington took it upon himself to nominate people who would serve in his inner circle of personal secretaries. The decision was his alone to make. Harkening back to his military family of aides and secretaries during the Revolutionary War, the president sought to emulate this with his Cabinet. He chose Alexander Hamilton as Treasury Secretary and Henry Knox as Secretary of War. Rounding out the initial cabinet posts was Thomas Jefferson as Secretary of State. Perhaps no other president was served better, for better or worse.

Commander in Chief of the Military. The United States did not have a standing army at the time of Washington becoming president. The country only had a reserve force of about one thousand soldiers. Standing armies were highly suspicious to most Americans; militias that could be raised quickly still commanded the proper response to any threat. The role of the president was always shaped to command the military, if necessary. Despite reservations of one person holding too much power, it was generally accepted that a military would need a singular leader. Washington being Washington settled any worries over who would command an army, if needed. He would briefly lead the assembled army in 1794 during the Whiskey Rebellion, being the first of only two American presidents who commanded US soldiers on American soil. The other was President James Madison outside the capital during the War of 1812.

Mr. President, and nothing more. A famous squabble broke out early on in Washington's presidency over the proper title to address him by. Vice President John Adams, seemingly bored or investing far too much into the matter, took it upon himself to come up with several official titles to address the president by. All sounded long, European, and ridiculous to the members of Congress who listened. Eventually, Washington himself decided the matter by declaring the title as, "Mr. President," to reflect the non-monarchial stature of the position.

No lifetime appointment. Among all of the things Washington continued to exemplify during his career in public service was his reluctancy to accept power, and his insistence on relinquishing it when he could. At each critical phase in his life, he stepped away when power was his to wield. First in 1783, he resigned as commander in chief of the Continental Army. Then in 1787, he came out of retirement to preside over the Philadelphia Convention that drafted the Constitution. And in 1789, he was persuaded yet again to serve his country as the first president. Washington hoped the appointment to president would be temporary, but it was not to be so. The partisanship of the 1790s consumed his administration and he was forced to remain in office for eight years. By 1796, he was exhausted and decided to retire, permanently. The precedent of carrying out a maximum of two consecutive terms was established by his retiring in 1797. It would go unchallenged until President Franklin Delano Roosevelt won a third term in the 1940 election. Roosevelt would win a fourth term in 1944, but die in early 1945 from failing health as he oversaw the American war effort during World War II. The Twenty-Second Amendment of the Constitution places term limits on an individual who is president, establishing Washington's precedent of two terms as the maximum a person can serve.

George Washington had 2 legends. One where he couldn't tell a lie. And another where he cut down a cherry tree. George Washington was a high-ranking officer before he was the president. George Washington's education ended when he turned 11. This means he only had a grade school education but still became president. And finally, no George Washington never actually had wooden teeth. That was as much of a myth as him cutting down the tree or that he couldn't tell a lie.11 Little-Known Facts About George Washington - HISTORY is where my facts came from.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
1. Washington had only a grade-school education.

The first president's formal schooling ended when he was 11 years old, after his father died. That event cut young George off from the opportunity to be educated abroad in England, a privilege that had been afforded to his older half-brothers. Washington's mother never remarried, forcing the adolescent to shoulder weighty burdens at a young age, as the oldest child of six from his father's second family. She taught him how to run a tobacco farm, and at the age of 16 he took his first job as a land surveyor. For the rest of his life, Washington would be embarrassed by his stunted schooling.

2. At age 22, Washington led a disastrous military skirmish that sparked a world war.

As France and Britain fought for territory at the edges of the North American colonies, Virginia sided with the British. As an officer in the Virginia militia, Washington was sent to the Ohio Valley (now western Pennsylvania) with some 150 troops, to help repel any attacks by the French. Warned by local Native American allies that a small French force has set up camp within several miles of his position, he led an attack with 40 of his soldiers, along with a dozen native warriors.

Who fired the first shot remains in dispute, but at the end of the 15-minute skirmish, at least 10 French soldiers and one Virginian were dead-including, most notably, a minor French noble, Joseph Coulon de Villiers, Sieur de Jumonville, who the French later said was on a diplomatic mission. Jumonville's death enraged the French, who called Washington an assassin. The conflict between the French and the British escalated into the French and Indian War, and soon spread worldwide in what became known as the Seven Years' War.

3. Washington's first love was the wife of one of his best friends.

"The world has no business to know the object of my love, declared in this manner to you when I want to conceal it," Washington wrote weeks before his wedding. The letter wasn't sent to his fiancée Martha Custis -but to Sally Fairfax, who was married to one of his best friends and patrons, George Fairfax, son of one of Virginia's largest landowners. Described as an intelligent, "dark-eyed beauty," Sally befriended Washington when he was still an awkward teen. Historians credit her with helping to smooth his rough edges socially, teaching him how to behave and converse among the wealthy and powerful, and even how to dance the minuet. It's unclear whether romance actually blossomed between the two.

4. About those teeth: No, they weren't wooden.

Washington ruined his teeth using them to crack walnut shells. The dentures he had were made out of lots of things, but not wood. Instead, they came largely from human teeth, pulled from the mouths of the poor and his enslaved workers. They also came from ivory, cow teeth and lead. He had a little spring inside the dentures that helped them open and close.

The fake teeth caused him great discomfort, and were one of the reasons he rarely smiled. He had to have his morning hoe cakes and syrup (chosen for their softness) cut into tiny pieces to make them easier to eat.

5. Washington wasn't always a great general, but he was an excellent spymaster.

Washington struggled mightily to win the Revolutionary War with an army that was perpetually undermanned, undertrained and undersupplied. So to triumph over one of the world's most powerful military forces, he relied increasingly on his unseen weapon: a secret intelligence network. Throughout the conflict, Washington's spies helped him make bold, canny decisions that would turn the tide of the conflict-and in some instances, even save his life.

The story of Washington's underground spy network, and how it helped Americans win their revolution, is replete with intrigue: There were letters written in invisible ink, a rare female agent who went by the mysterious moniker Agent 355, an African-American double agent, a patriot tailor who collected dirt while making clothes for British officers-and the gruesome execution of the spy Nathan Hale. According to the Central Intelligence Agency, "General Washington was more deeply involved in intelligence operations than any American general-in-chief until Dwight Eisenhower during World War II."

6. When he stepped down as commander-in-chief, he didn't want to run the country.

After eight years on the battlefield, Washington was more than ready to return home-to Mount Vernon, to his family, to his animals and his crops. Before he stepped back, though, he had some hard-earned wisdom he felt compelled to share with the fledgling nation. So in the summer of 1783, he drafted his " Circular Letter to the States," in which he detailed what he believed it would take for the American experiment to succeed. In many ways, it was a precursor to his famed Farewell Address 13 years later, a prescient warning to the country of the most likely political pitfalls. In the letter, Washington establishes four things he felt would help guide America forward.

7. He had no biological children, but he was a father figure to many.

It's never been definitively established why the Washingtons couldn't conceive-theories range from George's early bouts with smallpox or tuberculosis to Martha's case of measles. But when Washington married Martha Custis, a wealthy young widow, he became the legal guardian of her two younger children: four-year-old John Parke Custis (known as Jacky) and two-year-old Martha Parke Custis (known as Patsy). He was extremely fond of them and was bereft when 17-year-old Patsy died of an epileptic seizure.

As a father figure, he was especially fond of dispensing advice via letters-on everything from education to romance. He nagged his stepson to have more discipline with his studies, and warned his granddaughter against marrying for the wrong reasons: "Love is a mighty pretty thing; but like all other delicious things, it is cloying," he wrote, adding that it is "too dainty a food to live upon alone."

8. Washington was really into his animals.

Washington wasn't just America's first president, he was also its first mule breeder. (Mules=a mix of horse and donkey.) Recognizing the value of the mule for farmers, Washington is believed responsible for creating the mule stock that powered American agriculture in the South for generations.

And mules weren't the only animals he bred. In addition to many varieties of birds, Washington kept many canine breeds at Mount Vernon, including Dalmatians, English foxhounds, French hounds, Greyhounds, Italian Greyhounds, mastiffs, Newfoundlands, pointers, spaniels and terriers. A huge dog lover, he selectively bred hunting dogs for speed over the years and gave them endearing names like Sweet Lips, Venus, Trulove, Taster, Tippler, Drunkard and Madame Moose.

9. Washington was pretty cagey when it came to his religious beliefs.

When it comes to his personal religious beliefs, Washington was tough to read. With so few accounts to draw from, historians are mostly limited to analyzing what Washington did, to try to understand what he may have believed.

The trouble is, even his most straightforward actions can, at times, appear contradictory. The first president encouraged his fellow Americans to show up for worship, for instance, but sometimes struggled to attend church himself for weeks at a time. For many years, he served as a dedicated vestryman and church warden, but left services instead of taking communion. And while he peppered his writings with references to Providence, there's comparatively little mention of God or Jesus Christ.

10. He had a complicated relationship with slavery.

Washington's contradictory attitudes toward slavery are one of the great mysteries of his life and legacy. Like nearly all wealthy Virginia landowners, he owned enslaved people who worked his land. He received the first enslaved people of his own when his father died in 1743. Washington, just 11 years old at the time, was willed 10 enslaved people. By the time he married Martha Custis in 1759 (who came to the marriage with her own enslaved people), he had purchased at least eight more.

Over the years, Washington's thinking on slavery evolved. During the Revolutionary War, he became more uncomfortable with the thought of purchasing and owning other human beings. While he supported abolition in theory, he never tried it in practice. His plantation, his wealth and his position in society depended on enslaved people to work as laborers. When one of Martha's enslaved people fled to freedom in 1796, Washington spent the last three years of his life trying to force her to return. But when it came time to make his will, it contained an order to free his slaves-with the stipulation that they remain with Martha for the rest of her life.

11. Washington was a tough man to kill.

A tall and robust man, Washington survived multiple life-threatening situations. At various points, Washington had diptheria, tuberculosis, smallpox, malaria, dysentery, Quinsy, carbuncle and pneumonia. He survived near drowning in an ice-clogged river. He survived the burning and massacre of Fort Necessity. He survived two horses being shot out from under him and four bullets passing close enough to pierce his clothing-all in one battle.

Ironically, it was a cold that did him in. Technically, it was epiglottitis, an infection of the back of the throat that would be curable with antibiotics today. While he lay dying, his doctors effectively tortured him-burning him to remove the sickness and draining him of a full 40 percent of his blood. Washington was fearful of being buried alive, as he was convinced others in history had been. He directed that his body not be buried for three days after his death, just in case.
