Download History in 30: The Life of George Washington AudioBook Free
The United States is the land of opportunity, and this was no truer than during the late-Colonial period in THE UNITED STATES. The women and men who arrived to the 13 colonies functioned for everything that they had and finally broke away from the Uk when the colonists grew miserable with the governance. Without the "Founding Fathers," this might not have been possible; the men who declared freedom, ran the war effort, and created the federal government were exceptional individuals. Many of the "Founding Fathers" were self-made men who rose through the ranks and made something out of themselves during the Revolution. Some had nothing to lose when they declared their freedom, but others had everything to reduce, and George Washington risked it all to get the mantle of "Dad of America" along with his successes. Today, his legacy is mythologized frequently that it's hard to ascertain the reality from the fairy tales. With such a renowned body as Washington, it's important for historians and the ones interested in history to dig deeper and actually understand the man. Washington had not been perfect; he was known to have a terrifying temper during the war that left a lot of his subordinates truly scared of the man. Washington performed more than other man to guarantee the success of the North american Revolution and the safe passing of the new USA from fledgling land to budding electric power, but underneath his steel surface burned up an almost insatiable political ambition, and a guy who was acutely self-conscious of himself.
