Yesterday I read about George Washington, the first president of America. I learned that he was part of the British army. After serving for a while he went back home and was asked to join the army. But it was a special army. Back then the American groups were part of England so they were fighting to get independence from the Brits because they were doing the stamp act still. He opted to join and after the war he returned home to Virginia. In Virginia he was elected president of the Virginia Club. It was like their city council. Then he was elected the President of the United States. He led for a while then came back home. Two years later he died of old age.
