My review on George Washington
So the reason I choose this book was because of Hamilton. I love musicals and Hamilton is my favorite. I love the music and acting and the actor are just amazing. Anyway the musical has to deal with history way back in the 1700s/1800s. But after I heard the songs I decided to do my research on Hamilton and the rest of the founding fathers. The one that stood out to me was George Washington. I really didnt know much about George Washington. The only things I knew was that he fought in Revolution War and was the first President of the United States of America. So I wanted to dig deep because in the musical George seemed pretty cool. In the book George Washington life was very interesting for example he got sick most of the time and was not afraid to die. He also made Thomas Jefferson Secretary of State and Alexander Hamilton the Treasury. Then he also really loved his wife. Martha Washington was also very intersting too. She would her husband while he was at camp and the soilders were resting. The two really loved each other but sadly was never to birth a child. Sure the had step and adopted kids but they could have one there own. Washington was a great man. However he wasn't all that great. George Washington had slaves. Now he wasn't a bad owner but he did own people owning people is wrong you don't own a person. But never the less he was a good man and I am glad I learned more about his life.
