Get to know the humble Revolutionary War general who became the first U.S. President!

They said I was a leader, brave, honest, fearless, and just. My thoughts of myself were much more modest. Some Americans wanted to make me a king instead of a president. I refused because I knew that the strength of the United States and the value of liberty were more powerful than any one person—even me. I am George Washington.
