George Washington was the nation's first president and is often nicknamed, the father of the country. Washington grew up on a tobacco plantation, in rural Virginia, where his family were wealthy and could afford him to go to better schools. He even inherited the tobacco plantation but instead of following footsteps, Washington enlisted in the military. Washington was quickly recognized as a strong leader and quickly moved up in rank. In later years, Washington led the US Continental Army to victory about Great Britain in the Revolutionary War. Due to his non-partisan political stand, it is said that Washington is among the list of best presidents in US history.
