I wonder how Washington became president of the united states of America?
February22-December14, Washington was born in west moorland country in Virginia. Washington married a woman name Marthia Custis.Washington and his wife had 1 boy and 1 girl. Washington had 3 brothers, and 1 sister. Washington mastered tobacco growing and stock raising. At 11 years old his father died and his half brother had custody of him.
By the age of 16 he had obtained a basic education in mathematics, reading, and the usual subjects of his time. In 1749 Washington was appointed county surveyor, and his experience on the frontier led his appointment as a major military officer in the Virginia militia in 1752. Washington did not take college but instead he studied at home.
On march17,2007 Washington decided against becoming king of the united states. Washington faced individual state war debts, and runaway inflations. He also stayed neutral during the war in Europe between the English and French. Washington personally ensured that the U.S. government would enforce its laws by mobilizing troops.
