ответ:

george washington was an american political leader, military general, statesman, and founding father who served as the first president of the united states from 1789 to 1797. washington has been called the "father of his country" for his manifold leadership in the formative days of the new nation. washington was born on february 22, 1732, in westmoreland county, virginia. he was the eldest of augustine and mary’s six children, all of whom survived into adulthood. the family lived on pope's creek in westmoreland county, virginia. they were moderately prosperous members of virginia's "middling class." in 1735, augustine moved the family up the potomac river to another washington family home, little hunting creek plantation — later renamed mount vernon. little is known about washington's childhood, which fostered many of the fables later biographers manufactured to fill in the gap. among these are the stories that washington threw a silver dollar across the potomac and after chopping down his father's prize cherry tree, he openly confessed to the crime. washington received his initial military training and command with the virginia regiment during the french and indian war. he commanded american forces, allied with france, in the defeat and surrender of the british during the siege of yorktown, and resigned his commission in 1783 after the signing of the treaty of paris.
