2. What were his traits?
George Washington was a great leader that
would go to war with his soldiers no matter
what the consequences were.
Many times that he went to battle and was
outnumbered but he would somehow win
the wars that he had led during his time as
general leader and president of the U.S

3. George Washington’s
lesson
Approxiametly 2,500 American soldiers died in the war that
took place in Valley Forge that year. Why? Yes, these men
loved freedom. But according to historian David
McCollough, it was mainly their respect and love for
Washington. They would go anywhere with him and do
anything for him. They knew how much Washington cared
for them and how he put himself in trouble’s way.

4. George Washington beliefs
He believed in his men meaning, before he thought for himself he always had the
trust to his men and gave them a chance to give him a solution or an option in other
words what did they have in opinion. George Washington was known as a man that
was really easy to listen to and it seemed as if he shined in front of all of his soldiers
and every men follows him because they desired to be just like him. He treated
others with the utmost respect, he treated the lowest private with the dignity and
respect. Washington never treated someone less unless it was the enemy, obviously!
Along with respect he also had expectations from his men, as in, I believe in you, but
if there is no consistent response in terms of guidance and discipline, eventually if he
didnt put any discipline he would lose all edge of leaders power.

5. The way he treated
He treated his lowest privates with alot of
respect but he also had expectations
besides of having respect because if he
didn’t have discipline no one would listen
and he would listen to him and he would
lose his power as a leader.
