Was their a certain person George Washington looked up to?

Answer 1

I would imagine that his influences would have been earlier in his life and I would therefore suggest, on the basis of some his letters, that the person he most looked up to was his guardian and half-brother, Lawrence.

Answer 2

Martha Washington, and others, like Sam Adams, and John Adams, Ben Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, John Hancock, etc., but I think they were his friends in their common goal, and yet he really did not look up to anyone but his wife, from what has been told of their lifestyle they threw loads of parties, throughout the year and his best company in that respect was himself and his wife. Oh I forgot his father was his idol for real and that was really it for his hero.

Answer 3

George's father died when George was young so he looked up to his older brother Lawrence, even going to Barbados with him for a while. While there he caught small pox and nearly died. Lawrence died as a young man and devastated George. So George had to grow up young.

Answer 4

yah,

John Adams

George was taller so they thought he would be a better role model for the colonists.

Adams was the Brains...
George (a great man) was pretty much a gold digger..but still an true american who without him we may not be here today...
