| GEORGE WASHINGTON [1722
–1799] Planet
Earth is indebted to the man who opened the doors to freedom, leading the world into the
realm of free enterprise, he showed the empowering way of living in Democracy. George
Washington, the man who tailored the scattered colonies of North America and turned them
into United States Of America introduced Democracy to rest of the world. He was the man
who laid the strong foundation of the now ‘Superpower’ America. No American
president or democracy would have ever existed if it
was not for George Washington to command and unite gangs and turn them in an army that
could survive and win against the British Royal Army.
Because of George
Washington, America came through untouched from the harsh hands of the giants at war.
Known as the Father of America and Mother of Democracy, without any precedent guidelines
with a crystal-clear vision, laid down the base of America in form of neutrality, liberty
and powerful defense. In 18th century he discovered the weapon called peace; in
his words : ‘To be prepared for war in one of the most effective means of preserving
peace’.
The life of George Washington makes
anyone feel that every contribution plays a role in the making of a superpower. Few acts
of the great shape the history but many acts of the ordinary often do so too. George
Washington’s life stands a testimony to this. |
