He set the standard of what a true American should be. Did you know that when the revolutionary war ended , congress voted to give him the same power as a king in another country would have, and he turned it down, he said no. This is a democracy. Can you imagine king george, I mean George Bush saying that, he's been trying to turn the presidency into a monarchy for 7 years.

Look up George Washington in Wikipedia to get started.. Washington was one of the founding fathers of the United States of America. If you are going to live here, I recommend you read more history.

He set some very important precedents for our government.
1 He recogised the need for the military to be subordinate to civil authority.
2. When the revolution was won he didn't try to usurp power as many generals have in revolutions.
3. When his term was up as president, he left office.

He was the general during the American revolution that defeated the Brittish occupation. He was also the first president of the USA. I think those 2 reasons alone are enough to make him important.
