texts: New York Harbor was frozen over, snow and ice covered the ground, and the troops lacked provisions. In January 1780, Clinton assembled 12,500 troops and defeated Benjamin Lincoln who had only 5,100 Continental troops. The South Carolina Piedmont was occupied by the British in June.General Charles Cornwallis commanded 8,000 troops when Clinton returned to New York. The British already had the South in their grasp after Lincoln failed in South Carolina and Congress replaced him with Horatio Gates. When Lafayette returned from France with more ships, men, and supplies, <mask> was rejuvenated. <mask> encouraged Rochambeau to move his fleet south to launch a land and naval attack on Arnold's troops. <mask>'s army went into winter quarters at New Windsor, New York in December 1780, and he urged Congress and state officials to expedite provisions in hopes that the army would not continue to struggle. Congress passed the Articles of Confederation on March 1, but the government that took effect on March 2 did not have the power to tax the states. General Clinton sent Benedict Arnold, a British brigadier general with 1,700 troops, to Virginia to capture Pompey, and <mask> responded by sending Lafayette south to counter Arnold's efforts.Cornwallis in Virginia was the better place to end the war because <mask> wanted to bring the fight to New York. <mask> saw the advantage when Grasse's fleet arrived off the Virginia coast. He made a gesture towards Clinton in New York. The combined forces of the Continental Army commanded by General <mask>, the French Army commanded by the General Comte de Rochambeau, and the French Navy commanded by Admiral de Grasse defeated the British in the Battle of Yorktown. The "celebrated march" began on August 19 and was led by <mask> and Rochambeau. <mask> commanded an army of 7,800 Frenchmen, 3,100 militia, and 8,000 Continentals. <mask> often referred to the judgment of General Rochambeau and used his advice about how to proceed, but Rochambeau never challenged <mask>'s authority as the battle's commanding officer.The French navy defeated the British at the Battle of theChesapeake, while the British army was trapped in Yorktown. <mask> fired the shot that started the final American offensive. The last major land battle of the American Revolutionary War took place in 1781, when over 7,000 British soldiers were made prisoners of war. <mask> negotiated the terms of surrender for two days, and the official signing ceremony took place on October 19 when Cornwallis was absent due to illness. As a gesture of goodwill, <mask> hosted a dinner for the American, French, and British generals, all of whom fraternized on friendly terms and identified with one another as members of the same professional military caste. Relations between the newly independent America and Britain were threatened after the surrender at Yorktown. <mask> wrote a letter to Hazen stating that a British captain would be executed in reprisal for the execution of Huddy.<mask> wanted Lippincott to be executed, but he was turned down. Charles Asgill was chosen by drawing lots from a hat. The 14th article of the Yorktown Articles of Capitulation protects prisoners of war from being retaliated against. <mask> acknowledged Asgill's letter and situation in a letter of November 13, 1782, expressing his desire not to see any harm to him. After much consideration between the Continental Congress, Alexander Hamilton, Washington, and appeals from the French Crown, Asgill was finally released and allowed to travel to New York. When peace negotiations began in April 1782, the British and French began to leave their forces. Congress promised officers a five-year bonus after suppressing the Newburgh Conspiracy and the American treasury was empty.Washington advanced to the army with an account of $450,000. The account was settled, though it was vague about large sums and included expenses his wife had incurred through visits to his headquarters. The committee led by Alexander Hamilton began adapting the army for peacetime. Washington gave the Army's perspective to the committee in his Sentiments on a Peace Establishment. He told Congress to keep a standing army, create a national militia, and establish a navy and a military academy. On September 3, 1783, the Treaty of Paris was signed, and Great Britain officially recognized the independence of the United States. Washington gave a farewell address to his soldiers on November 2.Washington oversaw the removal of British forces from New York and was greeted by parades and celebrations. He said that Colonel Henry Knox had been promoted to commander-in-chief. <mask> and Clinton took possession of the city. <mask> resigned as commander-in-chief in December of 1783, refuting Loyalist predictions that he would not relinquish his military command. In his final appearance in uniform, he gave a statement to the Congress, commending the interests of our dearest country to the protection of Almighty God. <mask>'s resignation showed a skeptical world that the new republic wouldn't descend into chaos. Washington was appointed president-general of the Society of the Cincinnati in the same month.He served in this capacity for the rest of his life. <mask> was longing to return to Mount Vernon, where he spent just ten days out of years of war. He was happy to be free of the bustle of a camp and the busy scenes of public life when he arrived on Christmas Eve. During a visit to his mother at Fredericksburg in February 1784, he was fted and he received a constant stream of visitors wishing to pay their respects to him at Mount Vernon. <mask> took a trip to check on his land holdings in the Ohio Country after he reactivated his interests in the Great Dismal Swamp and Potomac canal projects. Although his financial situation was not strong, he oversaw the completion of the remodeling work at Mount Vernon, which transformed his residence into the mansion that survives to this day. He owed a lot of taxes and wages after being paid in wartime currency.During his absence, Mount Vernon saw persistently poor crop yields due to pests and poor weather. His estate ran a deficit for the eleventh year in a row in 1787. Washington cultivated a range of fast-growing trees and shrubs that were native to North America. King Charles III of Spain gifted a Spanish jack to him in 1784. He believed that proper bred mules would change agriculture and transportation in the United States. Washington called for a strong union during the Constitutional Convention of 1787. He was worried that he might be criticized for interfering in civil matters, but he sent a letter to all the states that said the Articles of Confederation was not more than a rope of sand.He believed that the nation was on the verge of anarchy and confusion, that it was vulnerable to foreign intervention, and that a national constitution would unify the states. <mask> was convinced that a national constitution was needed when Shays' Rebellion erupted in Massachusetts. The new republic was feared to have descended into lawlessness by some nationalists and they met together to ask Congress to revise the Articles of Confederation. Getting Washington to attend was one of their biggest efforts. Each state was to send delegates to the Constitutional Convention that Congress agreed to hold in Philadelphia in 1787. <mask> was chosen to lead the Virginia delegation on December 4, 1786, but he declined on December 21. He consulted James Madison and others about the legality of the convention.He was persuaded to attend by the fact that his presence might cause reluctant states to send delegates and smooth the way for the ratification process. <mask> told Governor Edmund Randolph that he would attend the convention but made it clear that he was urged to do so. <mask> arrived in Philadelphia on May 9, 1787. <mask> was unanimously elected to serve as president general after Benjamin Franklin nominated him. The purpose of the convention was to revise the Articles of Confederation with "all such alterations and further provisions" required to improve them, and the new government would be established when the document was "duly confirmed" by the several states. Madison's Virginia Plan was introduced by the Governor of Virginia on the third day of the convention. <mask> recommended a new constitution and a national government.On July 10, Washington wrote Alexander Hamilton, "I almost despair of seeing a favorable issue to the proceedings of our convention and do therefore repent having had any agency in the business." He gave his prestige to the work of the other delegates. <mask> told him that the adoption of the Constitution was desirable and that the alternative would be anarchy. The new government's transition was evaluated by Washington and Madison at Mount Vernon. <mask> was elected the Chancellor of William & Mary on January 18th, 1788, after the Board of Visitors of the College of William & Mary decided to re-establish the position of Chancellor. <mask> accepted the position of the 14th Chancellor of the College of William & Mary after receiving an invitation from the College Rector. He was president until his death on December 14, 1799.The delegates to the Convention anticipated a <mask> presidency and left it to him to define the office once elected. Washington suspected that most republicans had not voted for the president after the state electors voted for him. There wasn't a Congressional quorum to count the votes because of the mandated March4 date. After the votes were counted, Congressional Secretary Charles Thomson was sent to Mount Vernon to tell Washington that he had been elected president. Washington won every state's electoral votes and John Adams received the next highest number of votes to become vice president. <mask> left the "domestic felicity" of Mount Vernon to be inaugurated in New York City. <mask> took the oath of office at Federal Hall in New York City on April 30, 1789.His coach was led by militia and a marching band and followed by statesmen and foreign officials in an inaugural parade with a crowd of 10,000. The militia fired a 13-gun salute after Chancellor Robert R. Livingston administered the oath using a Bible provided by the Masons. Washington read a speech in the Senate Chamber, asking "that Almighty Being who rules over the universe, who presides in the council of nations, and whose providential aids can supply every human defect, consecrate the liberties and happiness of the people of the United States". Congress gave Washington $25,000 per year to cover the costs of the presidency after he wished to serve without a salary. Washington wrote to James Madison that "as the first of everything in our situation will serve to establish a precedent, it is sincerely wished on my part that these precedents be fixed on true principles." He preferred the title "Mr. President" over the majestic names proposed by the Senate. The inaugural address, messages to Congress, and the cabinet form of the executive branch were included in his executive precedents.Washington had planned to step down after his first term, but the political turmoil in the nation persuaded him to stay in office. He was a judge of talent and character and talked to department heads to get their advice. He conducted a smooth transition of power to his successor despite fears that a democratic system would lead to political violence. He was non-partisan and opposed the divisiveness of political parties, but he was sympathetic to a strong central government and wary of the Republican opposition. Major problems were dealt with by Washington. The old Confederation had weak leadership, a small bureaucracy, a large debt, worthless paper money, and no power to establish taxes. He used to work in an executive department and relied on the advice of Tobias Lear to pick his officers.When the United States did not have a navy, Barbary pirates preyed on American merchant ships in the Mediterranean. In 1789, Congress created the State Department in July, the Department of War in August, and the Treasury Department in September. Thomas Jefferson was Secretary of State, Edmund Randolph was Attorney General, Samuel Osgood was Postmaster General, and Henry Knox was Secretary of War. Alexander Hamilton was appointed Secretary of the Treasury. <mask>'s cabinet was not mandated by the Constitution. Washington's cabinet members formed rival parties with sharply opposing views. <mask> did not participate in the debate and restricted cabinet discussions to topics of his choosing.He asked cabinet opinions in writing and expected department heads to carry out his decisions. <mask> was against the formation of parties because they thought it would undermine republicanism. He used his veto power carefully, writing that "I give my signature to many Bills with which my judgement is at variance." The First Party System was ended by his closest advisors. The Secretary of the Treasury formed a party to promote national credit. Secretary of State Thomas Jefferson founded the Jeffersonian Republicans. <mask> favored Hamilton's agenda and it resulted in bitter controversy.November 26 was declared as a day of Thanksgiving by Washington. It is the duty of all nations to acknowledge the goodness of Almighty God, to obey His will, to be grateful for His benefits, and to implore His protection and favor. He spent that day visiting people in prison and giving them food and beer. In response to two antislavery petitions presented to Congress in 1790, slaveholders in Georgia and South Carolina threatened to blow the trumpet of civil war. naturalized citizenship was denied to black immigrants, blacks were barred from serving in state militias, and two more slave states were admitted. Washington signed the Fugitive Slave Act on February 12, 1793, which allowed agents to cross state lines to capture and return escaped slaves. Many free blacks in the north thought the law would allow bounty hunting and kidnappings of blacks.The Fugitive Slave Act gave effect to the Constitution's Fugitive Slave Clause. The House voted 48 to 7. On the anti-slavery side of the ledger, Washington signed a reenactment of the Northwest Ordinance which freed all slaves brought after 1787 into a vast expanse of federal territory north of the Ohio River, except for slaves escaping from slave states. The new U.S. Constitution took effect in 1789. The Slave Trade Act was signed by Washington and limited American involvement in the slave trade. Congress admitted the free state of Vermont into the Union as the 14th state on March 4, 1791. Hamilton had devised various plans to address matters in the first term of National Bank Washington.The federal government was challenged by the establishment of public credit. In exchange for moving the nation's capital temporarily to Philadelphia and then south near Georgetown, Jefferson agreed to Hamilton's debt proposals in the Compromise of 1790. Both the Funding Act of 1790 and the Residence Act were signed into law by Washington. The nation's debts were assumed with funding provided by customs duties and excise taxes. The First Bank of the United States was advocated by Hamilton. Congress easily passed the bank. Hamilton believed that the new bank was beyond the authority granted by the constitution.Washington signed the legislation on February 25 and the rift between Hamilton and Jefferson became public. The nation's first financial crisis happened in March. The markets returned to normal by mid-April, after Hamilton's Federalists exploited large loans to gain control of U.S. debt securities. <mask> was in the middle of a feud after Jefferson believed that Hamilton was part of the scheme. Both Jefferson and Hamilton were against political principles. Both Hamilton and Jefferson believed in a strong national government requiring a national bank and foreign loans to function, but Jefferson resented the idea of banks and foreign loans. The two men entered into disagreements and infighting.Jefferson told Washington that Hamilton's fiscal system would lead to the overthrow of the Republic if he continued to support <mask>. <mask> urged them to call a truce, but they didn't. After his first term, <mask> reversed his decision to retire, but the feud continued after he was re-elected. <mask> almost got rid of Jefferson from the cabinet because of his political actions, his support of the National Gazette, and his attempt to undermine Hamilton.

texts: affiliation became necessary for election to Congress after the feud led to the well-defined Federalist and Republican parties. <mask> did not protect Hamilton from congressional attacks. The Hamilton–Reynolds sex scandal opened Hamilton to disgrace, but <mask> still held him in very high esteem as the dominant force in establishing federal law and government.Congress imposed an excise tax on distilled spirits to help reduce the national debt, which took effect in July. Grain farmers protested in Pennsylvania's frontier districts, comparing their situation to excessive British taxation before the Revolutionary War. <mask> assembled his cabinet to discuss how to deal with the situation. Unlike <mask>, who had reservations about using force, Hamilton was eager to suppress the rebellion by using federal authority and force. <mask> didn't want to involve the federal government in the initiative, but they didn't take military action. <mask> called up state militias on August 7. He reminded the protesters that the Federal law was issued by state-elected representatives, unlike the rule of the British crown.The Whiskey Rebellion began because of threats and violence against tax collectors. The use of military force was threatened by Washington on September 25. Washington invoked the Militia Act of 1792 because the federal army was not up to the task. Washington gave the command to Light-Horse Harry Lee to lead the troops into the districts. The remaining rebels dispersed after 150 prisoners were taken. Washington exercised his Constitutional authority for the first time and pardoned two prisoners who had been condemned to death. The new government was protected by Washington's action.This is the only time an incumbent president has commanded troops in the field and it was the first use of federal military force against the states. <mask> considered certain self-created societies to beversive organizations that threatened the national union. He didn't dispute their right to protest, but he insisted that their dissent wouldn't violate federal law. Only Madison and Jefferson expressed indifference when Congress extended their congratulations to him. The French Revolutionary Wars began in April 1792 and Washington declared America's neutrality. Citizen Gent was sent to America by the revolutionary government of France. Washington demanded that the French recall Gent after he created a network of new Democratic-Republican Societies.Washington was granted French citizenship by the National Assembly of France during the early stages of the French Revolution. The Jay Treaty was formulated by Hamilton to resolve financial debts from the Revolution and to reestablish trade relations with Great Britain. Jeffersonians supported France even though Chief Justice John Jay signed the treaty for Washington. Washington supported the treaty because it avoided war with Britain, but was disappointed that its provisions favored Britain. He faced a lot of public criticism after securing the Senate's approval. The United States and Britain agreed to abandon forts around the Great Lakes. The British opened the British West Indies to American trade after the Revolution.Peace with Britain and a decade of prosperous trade were secured by the treaty. It angered France and was invited to war, according to Jefferson. John Adams was succeeded by a war after relations with France deteriorated. Washington recalled James Monroe because of his opposition to the Treaty. The French Directory declared the authority to seize American ships two days before <mask>'s term ended because the French refused to accept his replacement. Washington tries to be even-handed in dealing with the Natives according to Ron Chernow. Washington wanted them to abandon their nomadic hunting life and adapt to fixed agricultural communities like white settlers.He maintains that Washington never advocated for the forcible removal of tribes and that he berated American settlers who abused natives as long as they entertained the opinion that there was not the same. <mask> had a lifelong obsession with getting Indian land, either for himself or for his nation, and initiated policies and campaigns that had devastating effects in Indian country. The dispossession of Indian people was demanded by the growth of the nation. <mask> wanted the process to be painless and that Indian people would give up their lands for a fair price. He felt that the expeditions he sent to destroy Indian towns were justified if Indians refused and resisted. During the fall of 1789, Washington had to contend with the British who refused to leave their forts in the Northwest frontier. Between 1783 and 1790, 1,500 settlers were killed by the Northwest tribes under Little Turtle.According to Harless, Washington stated that the Administration of Indian Affairs would be directed by the principles of Justice and humanity, and that treaties should negotiate their land interests. Washington smoked a peace pipe and drank wine with powerful tribes as the administration viewed them as foreign nations. He tried to integrate them into European-American culture by equating killing indigenous peoples with killing whites. The Secretary of War tried to encourage agriculture among the tribes. In the Southwest, negotiations between federal Commissioners and raiding Indian tribes failed. Washington invited the chiefs to New York to negotiate a treaty and treated them like royalty. The Treaty of New York was concluded on August 7, 1790, in Federal Hall, which provided the tribes with agricultural supplies and a rank of brigadier general.Washington sent a brigadier general to appease the Northwest tribes, but Little Turtle routed him twice and forced him to withdraw. The Western Confederacy of tribes used guerilla tactics against the American Army. Washington sent a general from Fort Washington to restore peace in the territory. St. Clair's forces were defeated by tribal forces on November 4 despite warnings from Washington. Washington was appalled by the brutality and executions of Native American captives, including women and children. Washington replaced 800-381-0266 800-381-0266 800-381-0266 800-381-0266 800-381-0266 800-381-0266 800-381-0266 800-381-0266 800-381-0266 800-381-0266 800-381-0266 800-381-0266 800-381-0266 800-381-0266 800-381-0266 800-381-0266 800-381-0266 800-381-0266 800-381-0266 800-381-0266 800-381-0266 800-381-0266 800-381-0266 800-381-0266 800-381-0266 800-381-0266 800-381-0266 800-381-0266 800-381-0266 800-381-0266 800-381-0266 800-381-0266 800-381-0266 800-381-0266 800-381-0266 800-381-0266 800-381-0266 800-381-0266 800-381-0266 800-381-0266 800-381-0266 800-381-0266 800-381-0266 800-381-0266 800-381-0266 800-381-0266 800-381-0266 800-381-0266 800-381-0266 800-381-0266 800-381-0266 800-381-0266 800-381-0266 800-381-0266 800-381-0266 800-381-0266 Wayne instilled discipline in his troops after instructing them on Native American warfare tactics.<mask> gave Wayne authority to drive them out of tribal territory by burning their villages and crops. On August 24, 1795, the American army under Wayne's leadership defeated the western confederacy at the Battle of Fallen Timbers, and the Treaty of Greenville opened up two-thirds of the Ohio Country for American settlement. <mask> had planned to retire after his first term, but many Americans didn't think anyone else would take his place. After nearly four years as president, and dealing with infighting in his own cabinet and with partisan critics, <mask> showed little enthusiasm in running for a second term. James Madison told him that his absence would allow the political rift in his cabinet and the House to get worse. If <mask> decided to retire, Jefferson would also retire if he continued his attacks on Hamilton. <mask>'s absence would be seen as the greatest evil by the country, according to Hamilton.<mask>, <mask>'s nephew and his manager at Mount Vernon, was critically ill and had to be replaced, increasing <mask>'s desire to retire and return to Mount Vernon. <mask> did not announce his candidacy until after the election. He consented to run because he wanted to prevent a further political-personal rift in his cabinet. On February 13, 1793, the Electoral College unanimously elected him president and John Adams as his vice president. <mask> arrived alone at his inauguration. <mask> was sworn in as an Associate Justice on March 4, 1793, in the Senate Chamber of Congress Hall in Philadelphia, and immediately retired to his house in poor health. On April 22, 1793, during the French Revolution, <mask> issued his famous Neutrality Proclamation and was resolved to pursue "a conduct friendly and impartial toward the belligerent Powers" while he warned Americans not to intervene in the international conflict.Washington asked the French minister to be recalled over the Citizen Gent Affair because he recognized France's revolutionary government. Gent was hostile to Washington's neutrality policy. He procured four American ships as privateers to strike at Spanish forces in Florida while organizing militias to strike at other British possessions. During <mask>'s presidency, his efforts failed to draw America into the foreign campaigns. Jefferson resigned from Washington's cabinet on July 31, 1793. The first six federal frigates were commissioned to fight Barbary pirates after Washington signed the Naval Act of 1794. In January 1795, Hamilton, who wanted more income for his family, resigned and was replaced by <mask>.Washington's relationship with his Secretary of War deteriorated. There was a rumor that he profited from construction contracts on U.S. Frigates. In the final months of his presidency, Washington was accused of being ambitious and greedy, while he argued that he had risked his life in battle. He said in his farewell address that the press was a "diabolical force of falsehoods". At the end of his second term, <mask> retired for personal and political reasons, dismayed with personal attacks, and to make sure that a real presidential election could be held. He didn't feel bound to a two-term limit, but his retirement set a precedent. <mask> is often credited with setting the principle of a two-term presidency, but it was Thomas Jefferson who first refused to run for a third term on political grounds.<mask> did not run for a third term of office because he believed his death in office would create an image of a lifetime appointment. The precedent of a two-term limit was created by his retirement. In May 1792, <mask> ordered James Madison to prepare a "valedictory address", an initial draft of which was entitled the "Farewell Address". Alexander Hamilton, Washington's Secretary of Treasury, did an extensive rewrite of the manuscript in May 1796. David Claypoole's American Daily Advertiser published the final version of the address. Washington said that a united America would safeguard freedom and prosperity. He warned the nation of three dangers: regionalism, partisanship, and foreign entanglements, and said the "name of American, which belongs to you, in your national capacity, must always exalt the just pride of patriotism, more than any appellation derived from local discriminations."Washington said that the United States must concentrate on its own interests. He warned against foreign alliances and their influence in domestic affairs. He advised against involvement in European wars. He said that religion and morality are indispensable supports in a republic. Hamilton's ideology and economic policies were favored by Washington. After initial publication, many Republicans, including Madison, criticized the Address and believed it was an anti-French campaign document. Washington was pro-British according to Madison.Madison was suspicious of who wrote the Address. TheFarewell Address was printed and published with the laws, by order of the legislatures, as an evidence of the value they attached to its political precepts, and of their affection for its author. The Farewell Address was referred to as the Declaration of Independence and Gettysburg Address in 1972 by Washington scholar James Flexner. Ron Chernow reported in 2010 that the farewell address was one of the most influential statements on Republicanism. <mask> retired to Mount Vernon in March 1797 and devoted time to his plantations and other business interests. His plantation operations were only minimally profitable, and his lands in the west (Piedmont) were under Indian attacks, with the squatters refusing to pay rent. He tried to sell them.He became even more committed to the cause. He convinced John Marshall to run for Congress in order to weaken the Jeffersonian hold on Virginia. <mask> wrote to Secretary of War James McHenry to organize President Adams' army after becoming restless in retirement due to tensions with France. The "Quasi-War" began when French privateers seized American ships in 1798 and relations deteriorated with France. Adams nominated him for a lieutenant general commission and the position of commander-in-chief without consulting Washington. <mask> served as the commanding general from July 13, 1798, until his death 17 months later. He was involved in the planning of the army, but he wasn't involved in the details.In advising McHenry of potential officers for the army, he appeared to make a complete break with Jefferson's Democratic-Republicans: "you could as soon scrub the blackamoor white, as to change the principles of a profest Democrat; and that he will leave nothing un attempted to overturn Hamilton was given the active leadership of the army. <mask> did not assume a field command during this period. <mask> was known to be rich because of Mount Vernon's "glorified faade of wealth and grandeur", but most of his wealth was in the form of land and slaves. He built a distillery to make whiskey. According to historians, the estate was worth $1 million in 1799 dollars. He bought land parcels to spur development around the new Federal City named after him, and he sold individual lots to middle-income investors, believing they would commit to making improvements.On December 12, 1799, <mask> inspected his farms on horseback. He had guests over for dinner when he came home late. He was well enough to mark the trees for cutting despite having a sore throat. He was still cheerful despite his chest congestion. He woke up with an inflammation of his throat and difficulty breathing, so he ordered <mask> to remove a portion of his blood. His family summoned doctors. After <mask> died, Dr. William Thornton arrived.<mask> was thought to have quinsy by Dr. Brown and Dr. Dick. <mask>'s condition deteriorated further as they continued the process of bloodletting. The others disapproved of Dr. Dick's proposal because they weren't familiar with the procedure. <mask> told Brown and Dick to leave the room, but he was not afraid to go. <mask>'s death came quickly. His private secretary was told to wait three days before his burial out of fear that he would be entombed alive. Martha was seated at the foot of his bed when he died.His last words were "'Tis well", from his conversation with Lear. He died at the age of 67. The Speaker's chair was shrouded in black after Congress adjourned for the day following <mask>'s death. His body was buried at Mount Vernon four days after his death. The procession was led by cavalry and foot soldiers. Most of the mourners at the Mount Vernon funeral service were family and friends. The funeral service by the vault was read by Reverend Thomas Davis, followed by a ceremony performed by various members of Washington's Masonic lodge in Alexandria, Virginia.Harry Lee was chosen by Congress to deliver the eulogy. Church bells rang in the cities as word of his death traveled slowly. Memorial processions were held in major cities of the United States after the death of <mask>. Martha wore a black mourning cape and burned their correspondence to protect their privacy. There were two letters from Martha to <mask> and three from <mask> to her. Since <mask>'s death, the cause of his death and the diagnosis of his illness have been subjects of debate. The account was published.They stated that his symptoms were consistent with cynanche trachealis, a term used to describe severe inflammation of the upper windpipe. Since <mask>'s death, there have been accusations that he had been bled to death. Various modern medical authors have speculated that he died from a severe case of epiglottitis complicated by

texts: the given treatments, most notably the massive blood loss which caused hypovolemic shock. <mask> was buried in the old <mask> family vault at Mount Vernon, situated on a grassy slope overspread with willow, juniper, cypress, and chestnut trees. <mask> left instructions in his will for the construction of a new vault after the old one needed repair. <mask>'s estate was worth an estimated $780,000 at the time of his death in 1799. <mask>'s net worth included his 300 slaves.Washington had title to more than 60,000 acres of land. A vault was built after a disgruntled ex-employee tried to steal <mask>'s skull. <mask> and Martha's remains were to be received in a new vault at Mount Vernon. The Congressional committee considered moving his body from Mount Vernon to a crypt in the Capitol. After the Burning of Washington by the British during the War of 1812, the crypt was built by architect Charles Bulfinch. If the country became divided, many were concerned that Washington's remains could end up on a shore foreign to his native soil, so they kept his remains in Mount Vernon. On October 7, 1836, Washington's remains were placed within a marble sarcophagus designed by William Strickland and constructed by John Struthers.An outer vault was built around the sarcophagus and it was sealed. The sarcophagi of <mask> and <mask> can be found in the outer vault, while the remains of other <mask> family members can be found in the inner vault. <mask> had a strong presence among others but was somewhat reserved in his personality. He was not a noted orator or debater. He was taller than most of his peers, he weighed less as an adult, and he was known for his strength. He had grey-blue eyes and reddish-brown hair, which he wore in the fashion of the day.

He took laudanum because of the dental problems. He relied on his dentist's strict confidence as a public figure. Washington was a talented equestrian.Blueskin and Nelson were two of his favorite horses. <mask> was said to be the best horseman of his age and the most graceful figure that could be seen on horseback by Thomas Jefferson. He attended the theater frequently and was an excellent dancer. He drank in moderation but was morally opposed to excessive drinking. <mask>, the great-great-grandfather of Religion and Freemasonry <mask>, may have caused his heirs to emigrate to America due to his troubles with the Church of England. <mask> became a member of the Church of England in 1732 when he was an infant. He was a vestryman and churchwarden for more than 20 years.He publicly encouraged people and the nation to pray. He may have taken communion on a regular basis prior to the Revolutionary War, but he did not do so after, for which he was admonished. <mask> believed in a "wise, inscrutable, and irresistible" Creator God who was active in the Universe. He referred to God as Providence, the Creator, or the Almighty, and also as the Supreme Being. He believed in a divine power who watched over battlefields, was involved in the outcome of war, and was involved in American politics, specifically in the creation of the United States. According to Ron Chernow, <mask> avoided Christianity, hellfire-and-brimstone speech, and communion because of his religiosity. <mask> never used his religion for partisan purposes or in official undertakings according to Chernow.References to Jesus Christ are rare in his public writings. He often quoted from the Bible or the Anglican Book of Common Prayer. There is a debate on whether he is a Christian or a theistic rationalist. Washington emphasized religious toleration in the nation. He did not allow anti-Catholic celebrations in the Army. He didn't care about religious belief or affiliation when he engaged workers at Mount Vernon. He gave speeches on religious toleration while president.He harbored no contempt for organized Christianity and its clergy, but he was no bigot to any mode of worship. <mask> told members of the New Church in Baltimore that the light of truth and reason had triumphed over the power of bigotry and superstition. In the late 18th century, Freemasonry advocated moral teachings. <mask> was attracted to the dedication of the Masons to the Enlightenment principles. The anti-clerical perspective of the European lodges was not shared by the American Masonic lodges. <mask> was initiated as one of the first Entered apprentices of the Masonic lodge at the age of 20. He became a Master Mason within a year.<mask>'s personal lodge attendance was sporadic, but he had high regard for the Masonic Order. In 1777, a convention of Virginia lodges asked him to be the Grand Master of the newly established Grand Lodge of Virginia, but he declined due to his commitments leading the Continental Army. He was listed as Master in the Virginia charter of Alexandria Lodge No. after 1782, after he wrote to Masonic lodges and members. 22 years ago. Slavery was ingrained in the economic and social fabric of Virginia. Prior to the American Revolution, slavery was legal in all of the Colonies. Over 577 slaves lived and worked at Mount Vernon, which was owned and rented by Washington.After marrying Martha, he gained control of 84 dower slaves and purchased at least 71 slaves. He rented slaves from 1786 until his death. Any Virginia planter of the time had the same views on slavery. He had a slow evolution of his attitudes from the 1760s. His transition from tobacco to grain crops left him with a costly surplus of slaves, which caused him to question the system's economic efficiency. The principles of the American Revolution and revolutionary friends such as Lafayette and Hamilton led to his growing disillusionment with the institution. <mask> began to express inner tensions about the problem of slavery more frequently, though always in private, after the Revolution, according to Kenneth Morgan.<mask> spent a lot of money on clothes and bedding for his slaves, but only provided them with enough food to last them through the day, and he had strict control over his slaves, requiring them to work from dawn to dusk, according to historian Kenneth Morgan. Food, clothing, and housing seem to have been at least adequate according to a historian. <mask> had growing debts due to the costs of supporting slaves. He harbored no ill feelings towards African Americans despite holding an "engrained sense of racial superiority". On their days off, some enslaved families were allowed to visit one another at different locations on the plantation. Washington's slaves were given time off during the workday and on Sundays and religious holidays. Washington used flogging as a last resort on both men and women slaves, according to some accounts.Reward and punishment were used by Washington to encourage discipline in his slaves. He tried to appeal to an individual's sense of pride, give better blankets and clothing to the "most deserving", and motivate his slaves with cash rewards. He believed that watchfulness and admonitions were often better deterrents against transgressions than punishment. Punishment ranged from being demoted back to fieldwork, through whipping and beatings, to permanent separation from friends and family by sale. Historian Ron Chernow claims that overseers were required to warn slaves before resorting to the lash and that Washington's written permission before whipping was not always granted. In 1786 and 1787, Washington negotiated the purchase of more slaves to work on his farms. Washington brought several of his slaves with him to the federal capital during his presidency.When the capital moved from New York City to Philadelphia, the president started rotating his staff between Mount Vernon and the capital. Pennsylvania's Slavery Abolition Act automatically freed any slave who moved to the state and lived there for more than six months. Oney Judge, Martha's favorite slave, escaped to Pompey in May 1796. <mask> tried to capture Ona using a Treasury agent, but it failed. <mask>'s personal slave Hercules escaped to Philadelphia in 1797, but was never found. In 1786, Washington recorded 224 slaves in a census of Mount Vernon. More than 300 slaves were at Mount Vernon by the year 1799.<mask> leased 40 slaves and owned 123 of them. Mount Vernon's slave population was greatly increased due to <mask>'s support of slaves who were too young or old to work. Abolition and manumission based on his letters, diary, documents, accounts from colleagues, employees, friends, and visitors, <mask> slowly developed a cautious sympathy toward abolitionism that eventually ended with his will freeing his military/war valet Billy Lee, and then freeing the rest of his He was silent on the topic of slavery because he believed it could destroy the union. <mask> changed his views on slavery during the American Revolutionary War. The exchange of slaves for the land he wanted to buy was discussed in a 1778 letter by him to <mask>. <mask> stated in the next year that he wouldn't separate families because of a change of masters.<mask> was in favor of gradual emancipation of slaves. He gave moral support to Lafayette's plan to purchase land and free slaves to work on it, but did not participate in the experiment. In 1785, <mask> privately expressed support for the abolition of slavery but did not sign their petition. In personal correspondence the next year, he made clear his desire to see the institution of slavery ended by a gradual legislative process, a view that correlated with the mainstream antislavery literature published in the 1780s that Washington possessed. He reduced the number of slaves he bought after the war. <mask> declined a suggestion from a leading French abolitionist to establish an abolitionist society in Virginia because he didn't think the time was right to confront the issue. The historian thinks that <mask> might have made a public statement by freeing his slaves on the eve of his presidency.Philip D. Morgan believes the remark was a private expression of remorse for his inability to free his slaves. <mask> did not want to risk national unity over an issue as divisive as slavery. The subject of antislavery petitions never came up in either of <mask>'s last addresses to Congress or his farewell address. The first clear indication that <mask> intended to free his slaves came in a letter written to his secretary. <mask> instructed Lear to find buyers for his land in western Virginia, explaining in a private coda that he was doing so "to liberate a certain species of property which I possess, very repugnant to my own feelings". <mask>'s failure to find buyers for his land, his reluctance to break up slave families, and the refusal of the Custis heirs to help prevent such separations made the plan impossible. <mask> made his last will on July 9, 1799.His slaves were to be freed after Martha's death. <mask> didn't free them immediately because his slaves had sex with his wife's dower slaves. They were not allowed to sell or transportation out of Virginia. His will required that old and young freed people be taken care of indefinitely and that younger ones be taught to read and write. In order to pay off a debt, <mask> freed more than 160 slaves, including 25 from his wife's brother. He was one of the few large slave-holding Virginians who emancipated their slaves. One year after <mask>'s death, <mask> signed an order to free his slaves.Many of them, having never left Mount Vernon, were naturally reluctant to try their luck elsewhere; others refused to abandon spouses or children still held as dower slaves, and also stayed with or near Martha. Funds were used to feed and clothe the young, old, and infirm slaves until the early 1830s, following <mask>'s instructions in his will. <mask>'s legacy is one of the most influential in American history since he served as commander-in-chief of the Continental Army, a hero of the Revolution, and the first president of the United States. Various historians say he was a major factor in America's founding, the Revolutionary War, and the Constitutional Convention. Light-Horse Harry Lee said that he was the first in war and the first in peace. Lee's words became the hallmark of <mask>'s reputation, with some biographers saying he was the great example of republicanism. He was called the "Father of His Country" as early as 1769, and he set many precedents for the national government and the presidency.Congress made Washington's Birthday a federal holiday in 1879. Character is the great big thing stamped across that man. Washington's character has been defined by a modern historian asintegrity, self-discipline, courage, absolute honesty, resolve, and decision, but also forbearance, decency, and respect for others. The leader of the first successful revolution against a colonial empire was Washington. The Jeffersonians distrusted him so much that they delayed building the Washington Monument. On January 31, 1781, <mask> was elected a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. He was posthumously appointed to the grade of General of the Armies of the United States during the United States Bicentennial to ensure he would never be outranked, and this was accomplished by the congressional joint resolution Public Law 94-479 passed on January 19, 1976, with an effective appointment date of July 4, 1976.Washington was promoted to the rank of general on March 13, 1978. Weems wrote a biography to honor Washington. Historian Ron Chernow maintains that Weems tried to humanize <mask>, making him look less stern, and to inspire patriotism and morality, such as <mask>'s refusal to lie about damaging his father's cherry tree. Weems' accounts have never been proven or disproven. According to historian John Ferling, the only founder and president ever to be referred to as "godlike" is Washington. According to historian Gordon S. Wood, the greatest act of his life was his resignation as commander-in-chief of the American forces. Washington was divided by "unacknowledged ambition with self-doubt", according to Chernow.A 1993 review of presidential polls and surveys ranked <mask> number 4, 3, or 2. He was ranked number 1 among presidents by the Siena College Research Institute. <mask>'s reputation has been critiqued in the 21st century. He has been condemned for holding slaves. He did not support or initiate any initiatives to bring about the abolition of slavery. Activists have called for his name to be removed from public buildings and his statue to be removed from public spaces. <mask> is listed as the second highest-ranked U.S. President in a 2021, C-SPAN poll.Washington's documentary record was published in the 1830s in Life and Writings of <mask>. John Clement Fitzpatrick edited the 39-volume set of The Writings of George Washington from the Original Manuscript Sources. It is available online from the University of Virginia. Many universities, including George Washington University and Washington University in St. Louis, are named in honor of Washington. The capital of the United States, Washington, D.C., is one of the places and monuments named in honor of Washington. Washington is the only US state named after a president. There is a statue of four U.S. presidents on Mount Rushmore in South Dakota.<mask> can be found on the one-dollar bill, the Presidential one-dollar coin and the quarter-dollar coin. The nation's first postage stamps featured Washington and Franklin. Washington has appeared on more postage issues than

title: Charlie Christian

texts: American swing and jazz guitarist <mask> was born in 1916. <mask> was a key figure in the development of bebop and cool jazz. He was a member of the Sextet and Orchestra from August 1939 to June 1941. His single-string technique, combined with amplification, helped bring the guitar out of the rhythm section and into the forefront as a solo instrument. He is often credited with leading to the development of the lead guitar role. John and George said <mask> was the best in the swing era. "Many critics and musicians consider that <mask> was one of the founding fathers of bebop, or at least a progenitor of it," wrote Gene Lees in the liner notes to the album.<mask>'s influence went beyond jazz and swing. He was a member of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Oklahoma City renamed a street in its Bricktown entertainment district "Charlie <mask> Avenue" in 2006 because one of the musicians who jammed on N.E. was a native of Oklahoma City. Second Street. <mask> was born in Texas. He was a small child when his family moved to Oklahoma City. His parents played music.He had two brothers, Edward and Clarence. Clarence Henry <mask> taught music to his sons. Clarence Henry and the boys worked as buskers in order to support the family after Clarence was struck blind by a disease. They would lead him to the better neighborhoods, where they would perform for cash or goods. When Charles was young, he entertained himself by dancing. He learned to play the guitar after his father's death. Zelia N. Breaux was an instructor at the Douglass School in Oklahoma City.Charles wanted to play saxophone in the band, but she told him to play trumpet. He quit playing the trumpet because he thought it would make his lip bigger. <mask> said in a 1978 interview with Craig McKinney that <mask> had a bad relationship with the trumpeter James Simpson. He secretly taught the younger Charles in jazz after taking the guitarist "Bigfoot" Hamilton. He was taught to solo on "Rose Room", "Tea for Two" and "Sweet Georgia Brown". They took him to one of the many after-hours jam sessions along Northeast Second Street in Oklahoma City. They told Edward to let Charles play one.Edward said nobody wants to hear old blues. Charles was allowed to play after some encouragement. What do you want to do? He asked. Edward was surprised that Charles knew all of the songs. After two encores, Charles had played all three. His mother heard about the jam session before he got home.Charles fathered a daughter, Billie Jean <mask>, in the summer of 2004. As far away as North Dakota and Minnesota, Charles was performing on the road. He became a regional attraction by playing electric guitar. Many of the big-name performers traveled through Oklahoma City, including Teddy Wilson and Art Tatum. Mary Lou Williams is the pianist for Andy Kirk and His Clouds of Joy. <mask> was recommended to the bandleader by John Hammond. The first white bandleader to feature black musicians in his live band was Jimmy Durante, and the second was the violinist Arthur Hand.Teddy Wilson was brought in to play the piano in 1935 and Lionel Hampton was brought in to play the vibraphone in 1936. The newly formed Goodman Sextet hired <mask> to play. It has been claimed that <mask> was not hired because the electric guitar was new. None of the others who had been exposed to the instrument had the ability of <mask>. Floyd Smith's contract was tried to be bought out by Andy Kirk. He hired <mask> because he was so impressed by his play. There are several different versions of the first meeting of <mask> and Goodman.The encounter at the studio had not gone well. In 1940, <mask> recalled in a Metronome magazine article, "I guess neither one of us liked what I played, but Hammond decided to try again." <mask> says that he was invited to the show. <mask> was installed on the bandstand at the Victor Hugo restaurant in Los Angeles. He called the tune "Rose Room" because he thought <mask> wouldn't know it. <mask> came in with his first chorus of about twenty, all of them different, and he had never heard anything like it before. The version of "Rose Room" that lasted forty minutes was different.<mask> was in the band. <mask> went from making $2.50 a night to $150 a week in a few days. The new sextet included Lionel Hampton, Artie Bernstein and Nick Fatool. <mask> was elected to the Metronome All Stars after dominating the jazz and swing guitar polls. A reorganization took place in the spring of 1940. He retained <mask>, and in the fall of that year he led a sextet with Count Basie, Cootie Williams, former Artie Shaw and Dave Tough. In 1941, the band dominated the jazz polls and was elected to the Metronome All Stars for <mask>.The piano chair was filled by Johnny Guarnieri, who replaced Henderson in the first sextet. 24 years after his death, <mask> was inducted into the Down Beat Jazz Hall of Fame. The first seven members of the Oklahoma Jazz Hall of Fame were <mask>. <mask>'s style and influences are often described as "horn-like", and in that sense he was more influenced by horn players such as Herschel Evans than by early acoustic guitarists like Eddie Lang and the jazz- and bluesman Lonnie Johnson. <mask> wanted his guitar to sound like a saxophone. <mask> was familiar with some of the recordings of the French gypsies jazz guitarist. Mary said she heard him play a solo on the "St. Louis Blues" note for note, but then followed it with his own ideas.Leonard Ware, George Barnes, Eddie Durham, Floyd Smith, and Eldon Sham were electric guitar solo artists by 1939. <mask> paved the way for the modern electric guitar sound that was followed by other pioneers. King, Chuck Berry, Carlos Santana, and Jimi Hendrix. <mask> was in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1990. <mask>'s exposure was so great that he influenced not only guitarists but other musicians as well. "Salt Peanuts" and "Blue 'n' Boogie" can be heard on their early bop recordings. <mask> was cited as an early influence by other musicians.As a whole, jazz was influenced by <mask>'s "new" sound. After his death, he reigned supreme in the jazz guitar polls. Jim Simpson, Black Sabbath's first manager, describes the band's first song, "A Song for Jim" as an "absolute <mask> takeoff." Some of the participants in those early after-hours affairs at Minton's Playhouse credit <mask> with the name bebop, citing his humming of phrases as the origin of the term. Private recordings made in September 1939 in Minneapolis, Minnesota, by Jerry Newhouse, a Goodman enthusiast, capture the newly hired <mask> while on the road with Goodman and feature his sax player Jerry Jerome and bassist Oscar Pettiford. <mask> shows a lot of the same skills later captured on the Minton's and Monroe's recordings in 1941, suggesting that he had already matured as a musician. The Minneapolis recordings include "Stardust", "Tea for Two", and "I've Got Rhythm".Further examples of <mask>'s bebop playing can be heard in a series of recordings made at Minton's Playhouse, an after-hours club located in the Hotel Cecil, in Harlem. "Stompin' at the Savoy" is one of the Newman recordings that features <mask>'s use of tension and release. The recordings were made at Clark Monroe's Uptown House, a late-night jazz haunt in Harlem. Don Byas is a sax player. The Minton's recordings were long rumored to feature "Dizzy" Gillespie and Thelonious Monk, but that has since been proved untrue, although both were regulars at the jam sessions, with Monk a regular in the Minton's house band. "Epistrophy" and "Rhythm-a-Ning" were compositions by <mask>, which <mask> played with Thelonious Monk at Minton's jam sessions. The introduction to "Guy's Got to Go" is behind the "Rhythm-a-Ning" line.Mary Lou Williams wrote "Walkin' and Swingin'". <mask> showed him how to play "Epistrophy" on the ukulele. There are a number of different titles for these recordings. The recording quality of many of these sessions is poor, but they show <mask> stretching out much longer than he could on the other side. <mask> can be heard playing long stretches of melodic ideas on the Minton's and Monroe's recordings. <mask> was also good with understatement. His work on the sextet sides "Soft Winds", "Till Tom Special", and "A Smo-o-oth One" show his use of few melodic notes.The Sextet's recordings of "Stardust", "Memories of You", "Poor Butterfly", "I Surrender Dear" and "On the Alamo" were recorded by him. <mask> was credited with many of the original tunes recorded by the Sextet. In the late 1930s <mask> contracted Tuberculosis, and in the early 1940s he was hospitalized for a short time because of his back trouble. When the band was on the West Coast, they stayed at Santa Catalina Island, where they were hospitalized in the summer of 1940. In late July of 1940, <mask> returned to Oklahoma City and in September of 1940, he returned to New York City. In early 1941, <mask> went to Harlem for late-night jam sessions after finishing his gig with the Goodman Sextet and Orchestra in New York City. He was admitted to the Seaview sanitarium in New York City in June 1941.Down Beat magazine reported in February 1942 that he and Cootie Williams were starting a band. After a visit to the hospital by the tap dancer and drummer, <mask> declined in health. He died at the age of 25. He was buried in Texas. There is a Texas State Historical Commission marker in Gates Hill Cemetery. In March of 2013, Fannin County, Texas, recognized that the historical marker was in the wrong spot and that <mask> is buried under the concrete slab. The instruments include an acoustic archtop guitar, an amplifier, and a guitar with a Super 400 tail.The instrument was discovered again in 2002.

On academic freedom issues, Thio was a consultant to a delegation of the House of Representatives of Japan. In the fall of 2009, Thio was to be a visiting human rights professor at New York University School of Law, but she withdrew her acceptance in July 2009. Many noted the irony in her appointment, and called for a condemnation of her anti-gay hate speech. NYU OUTLaw, the university's gay and lesbian law student group, called for the condemnation. NYU Law School's Dean Richard Revesz issued a memorandum stating "the Law School categorically rejects the point of view expressed in Professor <mask>'s speech, as evidenced by our early and longstanding commitment to end discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation." The students at NYU Law School have made statements.The NYU Law faculty received an 18-point defense memo from Thio.

During a review of the Penal Code in Singapore in October 2007, it was decided not to repeal section 377A of the Code, which criminalises sexual activity between males. Thio gave a speech to support the continued criminalisation of sexual activity between males, and likened gay sex to "shoving a straw up your nose to drink." She said she spoke at the risk of being burned at the stake by militant activists because she claimed to have support from a majority of Singaporeans.The existence of an active gay agenda that seeks to lobby the government was mentioned by <mask>. The Internet saw a flood of websites rebutting <mask>'s speech, most of which focused on her lurid straw-up-the-nose analogy. In a feature article in The Straits Times on 27 October, local journalist Janadas Devan pointed out that the speech was heavily laden with phrases and imagery from the Dominionist movement. Chua Mui Hoong wrote an article titled "Rules of Engagement for God and Politics" in the Straits Times. Chua acknowledged <mask>'s position that secularism could challenge religion. Chua encouraged that a specific explanation be given as to how the repeal of a law would harm the Singaporean society, as he disagreed that religion has been antagonised in Singapore. Michael Kirby, a judge of the High Court of Australia, criticized <mask>'s speech in a speech he delivered in November 2007.His speech was published in The Sydney Morning Herald. During the debate, Thio revealed that playwright Alfian Sa'at had sent her an email saying that he hoped she would live long enough to see the repeal of 377A. The email was sent in response to a rumour that Thio had called the police to complain about a "Pink Picnic" in the Botanic Gardens. Sa'at apologized after Thio denied the allegation. In November 2007, Thio was told by the media that an anonymous threatening letter had been sent to her. On the same day, Thio made a police report. Some people in Singapore protested the question regarding Thio's strong position towards retaining the code.There were two issues raised. The question of the real existence of a majority against repeal was the first issue. The second issue was whether a stance against homosexual behavior would equate to wanting a code to criminalize the act of sodomy. Concerns were raised by a law professor on whether it was possible to enforce such a code, whether it would lead to dangers of entrapment, and whether the informal position of the government not to enforce the code would reverse overnight.

The new council was voted out of office after the old guard called for a no-confidence vote. There were 2,175 people who voted at the meeting. A group of conservative Christians, all attending the same church, which held strong views on homosexuality, had moved in and taken over AWARE because they disapproved of what AWARE had been doing.
