What contribution did George Washington make to America? What kind of experience did he have?
Washington is a famous figure in history, because he has made great contributions to the United States and left a very valuable impression on our future generations. What contribution did he make? Next, Bian Xiao will give you a concrete report.

First of all, Bian Xiao first talked about his life. Born in a wealthy family in Virginia, Washington worked as a surveyor in his early years, then joined the British army to participate in the French-Indian War. 1759- 1774 was a member of the Virginia House of Commons and took the lead in opposing British rule. [3] 1775 to 1783, served as commander-in-chief of the continental army in the American War of Independence. 1787, he presided over the Constitutional Convention, formulated the American Constitution, and replaced the Confederate regulations. 1789 was elected president of the United States, 1793 was re-elected and served as president until 1797. He made many innovations during his two terms of office. After the end of his term, he voluntarily gave up power and did not seek a third term. He died at Mount Vernon on February 4th on 1799+ 14.

Secondly, he is a famous bourgeois revolutionary and an outstanding military commander, and is called the father of the country by Americans. His famous experience is that he founded the Continental Army. Through his super power, he led them to complete the famous battles of Delaware, purington and Saratoga under extremely difficult conditions. Finally, under his leadership, they defeated the British and made America independent. This is the famous war in the history of the world-the American War of Independence.

Therefore, the United States is very lucky to have a man with both ability and political integrity like Washington as the first president. He is a firm leader. He maintains national unity, but he doesn't want to keep power in his own hands forever. He has no great ambition, and he doesn't want to be a king or a dictator. So he set a precedent of voluntarily surrendering power, a precedent that the United States is still pursuing, that is, each of their presidents came to power after the election. The United States has never made a special case since its founding more than 200 years ago, from which we can see its great contribution to the United States.
