Pretty sure he was for it...He did lead American forces to victory. But when it was time to elect a president, he was reluctant. He felt that an ordinary civilian shoud lead. It took a lot to get him to lead the nation, but when his term was over, he was quoted as saying "this has been the greatest honor a man could have had bestowed upon him"

George Washington was a very loyal British subject originally,
until the over taxation and the terrible way the crown on King Georges Head became a burden on the American subjects, and his insanity was ridiculous. It was tyranny plain and simple. Like a bunch of sharks on a feeding frenzy in a fruitful prosperous land. Greedy and tyrannical. Washington realized his goal was the common denominator to join the rebellion and lead the colonies into victory against the British Crown. You must remember there were a good number of British people here. And the subjects(british ) were not the problem it was the government.

Washington, once a loyal British subject under the King, was furious about the poor treatment the British heaped on the American colonies. Washington tried very hard to convince the Brits that the Americas deserved equal treatment as anyone in mother England, but pleas went on deaf ears. When the Brits assassinated many Americans, raped wives, killed innocent here and suspended their rights to fair treatment, Washington saw no recourse but to declare Independence with the pother colonies.
He wanted no kingdoms, no monarchies. His work to insure this helped establish a government for and by the people. Religion, though practised in the colonies, never was to have power over the natural rights of all men. THis is what they call separation of church and state.
To this end, Washingtr on felt not only justified, but inspired. And when he peacefully turned over government after two terms as president to Adams, it was the first time in recorded history this had happened.
Washington would be cringing if he was here to see what Bush has done to our constitution and Bush's disregard for the will of the founding fathers, all Diests. Washington woulkd have seen Bush asa floundering fodder.

He was pretty psyched about it.
