Source: ERIC Clearinghouse for Social Studies/Social Science Education Bloomington IN. Teaching about George Washington. ERIC Digest. No generation in American history has matched that of the founding era for its array of talented and influential political thinkers and actors. John Adams, Benjamin Franklin, Alexander Hamilton, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, and George Washington all possessed certain traits of character and intellect that significantly shaped the new United States of America and its direction for generations that followed. Among these personalities, George Washington is the most difficult for students to know. Compared to Jefferson, Hamilton, or most other important historical figures, our common images of Washingtonseen on the dollar bill and quarter, crossing the Delaware River, or enshrined in the impersonal Washington Monumentare cold and distant. Today's perceptions of Washington seem to validate Ralph Waldo Emerson's maxim, "Every hero becomes a bore at last." Do most students understand the importance of George Washington as a military and political leader during a time that demanded extraordinary leadership? The bicentennial of Washington's death in 1999 is an appropriate time to reflect upon his role and place in the school curriculum.

76. FAREWELL ADDRESS (1796) george washington had been the obvious choice to be the first reading Burton I. Kaufman,ed., washington s Farewell Address And let us with caution indulge the http://usinfo.state.gov/usa/infousa/facts/democrac/49.htm

FAREWELL ADDRESS (1796) George Washington George Washington had been the obvious choice to be the first president of the United States, and indeed, many people had supported ratification of the Constitution on the assumption that Washington would be the head of the new government. By all measures, Washington proved himself a capable, even a great, president, helping to shape the new government and leading the country skillfully through several crises, both foreign and domestic. Washington, like many of his contemporaries, did not understand or believe in political parties, and saw them as fractious agencies subversive of domestic tranquility. When political parties began forming during his administration, and in direct response to some of his policies, he failed to comprehend that parties would be the chief device through which the American people would debate and resolve major public issues. It was his fear of what parties would do to the nation that led Washington to draft his Farewell Address. The two parties that developed in the early 1790s were the Federalists, who supported the economic and foreign policies of the Washington administration, and the Jeffersonian Republicans, who in large measure opposed them. The Federalists backed Secretary of the Treasury Alexander Hamilton's plan for a central bank and a tariff and tax policy that would promote domestic manufacturing; the Jeffersonians opposed the strong government inherent in the Hamiltonian plan, and favored farmers as opposed to manufacturers. In foreign affairs, both sides wanted the United States to remain neutral in the growing controversies between Great Britain and France, but the Federalists favored the English and the Jeffersonians the French. The Address derived at least in part from Washington's fear that party factionalism would drag the United States into this fray.

To learn more about George Washington and other great American Presidents, visit The American Presidents Web site at: www.americanpresidents.org George Washington First President 1789-1797 George Washington is known for his greatness as a general and as the nation's first President. "And it may be truly said, that never did nature and fortune combine more perfectly to make a man great." (Thomas Jefferson about George Washington, 1814.) On April 30, 1789, George Washington stood on the balcony of Federal Hall on Wall Street in New York City and took his oath of office as the first President of the United States. "As the first of every thing, in our situation will serve to establish a precedent," he wrote James Madison, (then a member of the U.S. House of Representatives, and later, the fourth U.S. President), "...it is devoutly wished on my part, that these precedents may be fixed on true principles." George Washington served as President from 1789 to 1797. He was disappointed when two different political parties were developing by the end of his first term. Although he was elected to a second term, he decided not to run for a third term, which greatly disappointed the nation. (Today, a U.S. President is legally allowed to serve only two terms in office.)
