Washington

[CHEEZY17]

New series on the History channel about our nations father. Very solid so far. Check it out if you're a history buff or appreciate our Founding Fathers.

Brother George has quite the history.



Here he is in his Masonic gear:

I have no cable package. But talk radio today shared how he was like the first guy in global history to willingly cede control of government to the next guy.

I don't know who the first one to do it in history but one of Washington's heros was Cincinnatus, who did exactly that. And that was in 458 BC.

You know Washington owned slaves so I’d be careful not praise him too much

He had a shitload of slaves. That's why I don't believe in the reparations bullshit. Where does it stop. Human history is just one long warmongering, conquering and enslaving others. Washington knew better but he was a 1% landowner capitalist and they don't give a fuck.

"Adams went to Harvard. Jefferson went to William and Mary."
"Washington went to war."

One well known story about Washington is how he would cycle his personal slave in and out of Pennsylvania every six months while the US Capitol was still in Philadelphia to keep from having to free him by PA law at the time. Ol' George knew what he was doing.

While alive and able to spend the profits generated by their slaves, they were okay with slavery. After death and couldn't benefit any longer they freed them and recognized their lives meant something. They knew it was wrong but did it anyway.

Lincoln wasn't the great minded abolitionist and civil rights activist people pretend him to be today.

Of course Washington will always be remembered in World History as the Army commander that defeated the British in the Revolutionary War and 1st President. I'm thinking most don't know about his role in another earth shattering event in the mid-1750's as a 24 year old. There were other factors later that played a part, but most historians agree that his actions led to what is described as the "First World War". 24 yo Lt Colonel of a Virginia militia unit along with their Indian allies attacked a 35 man French Canadian unit from the boulders above in what was later called Jumonville Glen, Pa (named after the French officer in charge killed )- about 100 miles SE of present day Pittsburg. Led to the "World War" 7 years war between England and France. France lost almost everything in the America's

If you're watching the show about Washington you would have seen they've covered that.
It covers the life of Washington. His whole life. If you had watched it.

He never watches TV. Unless he's binge watching TV. Then he watches TV. Unless he's never watching TV.

Yeah, like all the 100,000's of threads in UJ/UJR history didn't start out talking about the beauty of Ansel Adam's Photos and didn't end wandering what Marilyn Monroe's pussy tasted like.

I believe Cleveland, Ohio was named after him.
