He later joined the cause for American independence and worked his way up to General and filled the empty role of leader for the Americans in the revolutionary war.…

    George Washington could arguably be the best president but reasons as to why Washington was the nation 's most well done president can be drawn from before his presidency as a general during the revolutionary war. During the war he demonstrated great strength in leadership and intelligence, leading his outnumbered army away from defeat on two different occasions that gave them a much needed advantage that ultimately won the war. The first occasion was during the battle of Princeton on December 26th 1776 and in Morristown in 1777. During both instances, Washington seemed to be outnumbered and losing the battles but managed to outsmart the British on both accounts. Afterwards when he was unanimously elected by the electoral college in 1789 and…

    There have been a number of great and influential presidents that have run the United States of America. In my opinion, the most important President from the time period of George Washington (1789-1798) through Franklin Pierce (1853-1857) was George Washington himself. As the first President of the country, George Washington was the pioneer for all the presidents who followed him. His resume also set a standard for those who succeeded him; he had military experience before becoming president, serving as an army general and Commander-in-Chief of the Continental Army during the American Revolutionary War. Washington used these strong leadership qualities to form the United States Constitution and set the tone of democracy and morality that the United States would continue to follow long after his term of presidency ended.…
