Last time I entered Mexico from Texas I crossed at Nueve Laredo and was excited at the prospect to visit Real de Catorce, which did not disappoint. However it's over six hours from the border and I visited a decade back. â hippietrail Aug 16 '13 at 9:39.
Yet at the three major junctions in the founding of the nation, the Revolution, the Constitutional Convention and the selection of the first President, for each position the leader chosen was George Washington. In his own day he was seen as the indispensable man, the American Moses, The Father of the Country.
As an individual, Washington is a man with great manners and humility. The country people wanted to see him as a King, but he wanted to show a different kind of government to the people. The country elected Washington as their President in the year 1789. George Washington was elected unanimously. Washington served the country for two terms which is for 8 years.
