George Washington speech
By Nicholas
Hello old
folks my name is George Washington. I’d like to tell you about my life. I’m NOT
bragging or anything but I’m a BIG BIG BIG part of this Country!!!{LAUGHS}
I was born
on February 22 1732. I was born in Westmoreland County in Virginia.
When I was
young I loved hunting, swimming, adventure and riding horses.
My half brother Lawrence
I had a half brother named Lawrence
he had always convinced me to join the military. But I always replied [I have
too much work to do on the farm with my mom and dad.
A general
When I
joined the military I completely rose through the ranks soon I became lutenint
colonel so I was a general serving the British. In 1754 through 1758 I fought
in the French and Indian war. The French told the Indian’s to help them so the
Indians did help the French to try and conquer some of the British’s land.
The winner
is……………………
The winner
of the war is…. The French!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So the French
conquered some of the British’s land.
Returning home
for now…
After the
war George returned home to Mt. Vernon back home he married Martha Custis and
became a stepfather to her 2 children.
George and the colonists bought a lot of stuff in England that they
couldn’t buy in America. The king of England made them pay taxes for stuff like
tea and stamps. Colonists were angry and asked the king to stop the taxes
because the Colonists didn’t like it. But the king said no so we decided to
come back and fight. And this was the start of the revolutionary war!!!
The
Revolutionary war
When they started the war it was winter George and his army were like always tired and Freezing cold [Brrrrrrr!!!] We often ran out of supplies. George gave lots of his money to help his soldiers. They lost many battles. But George never gave up [Yay!] One day they even did a sneak attack. Later they finally won the war!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! [Yeah yah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!]
The king?
People said
George Washington should be king but George Washington didn’t that much power
so. He wanted to be called a president. So he became president for 8 years/2
terms. [1 term equals 4 years][2 terms equals 8 years!]
In 1799
George Washington died!!!! [Sob sob!!!!!!!!!!!]
THE END
