Description
George Washington and the Creation of the American Republic debunks the portrayal of George Washington in what is described by historians as the “Critical Years” (1781–1789), a time when he was deeply involved in land speculation, western expansion, scientific farming, canal building, political affairs, and family matters—directing the nation toward a strong central government.
