“Nothing deserves our patronage more than the advancement of science and literature.Knowledge is the surest means of bringing the happiness of the people for every country.” ____George Washington
George Washington, commander-in-chief of the Continental Army in the American Revolutionary War and the first president of the United States. He is considered one of the most important figures in the history of his country, as he played an important role in the US War of Independence. He shaped the American presidency and created a tradition in his country (which continued until Franklin D. Roosevelt, then became constitutional) by relinquishing the presidency for a third term after two terms, eight years. He is ranked 16th in the list of the top 100 people who wrote the most works about Washington.
