Washington as the first president

Washington was recently elected as the first president. At first he didn't want to be due to the fact he could become like King George. I wanted him to become our country's first leader due to his role in the American Revolution. He was a good general that seceded in his task. Back when I was under his command in multiple battles during the revolution, I felt his decisions were very judicial and moral. Washington shaped the Executive Branch early in his term. He made a cabinet which was a group of advisers. I knew him well back in the day and wanted to be on his cabinet. That is beside the point, but Washington was a strong, first president for the United States.

America was still a fairly weak new nation. A lot of people still had separate thoughts and decisions on what to do and how to act. I personally believed that if people were not united soon, the newly formed states could crumble. That's where Washington came in. At the time there was a war going on between France and England. He told the American people to stay out of foreign affairs. If this did not happen growth could be hindered or a possible split in the country. His advice on neutrality was followed, but he retired after 2 terms. At this point there were 2 new party's. They were the Federalist and the Democratic-Republicans. This marked a political split between the Americans, but there was still a need for Washington when he died on December 14. 1799.
