LAD#4: Revolution Article

1. I did not know George Washington hired someone to write his biography, which he then edited out the unflattering parts of his past.

2.  George Washington never said anything remarkable in any of his speeches (unlike Lincoln) or really ever said anything about the war either.

3. Throughout George Washington's presidency he never commemorated a  day to any battle or the men who died in the war.

4.The revolutionary war was the longest declared war for America.

5. More than 620,000 soldiers died in the civil war, this is the highest death toll compared to any other war.

Those teeth sure got in the way of talking!
