The Father of Our Country

            George Washington was the first President of America in 1789.  He didn't want the people to treat him like a king, so he highly recommended them to call him "Mr. President."  Because Washington cared for his young country, he traveled the 13 states.  During the French Revolution, Washington, Who didn't want war, helped keep peace, between America and England.  He also believed if Americans lived virtuous lives, we could keep our country strong.  George Washington will always be called "The Father of Our Country."
