George Washington On His Death Bed, 1799

George Washington on his death bed, surrounded by friends and family. On December 12, 1799, Washington spent several hours inspecting his property on horseback. The weather was bad, with snow, hail and freezing rain. He sat down to supper that evening without changing his wet clothes. The next morning, he awoke with a bad cold, fever and a throat infection that turned into acute laryngitis and pneumonia. Washington died on the evening of December 14, 1799, at his home aged 67. It was recorded that the Last Words of George Washington were, "It is Well".George Washington (1731 or 1732-1799) was the first President of the United States of America, serving from 1789 to 1797, and dominant military and political leader of the United States from 1775 to 1799. He led the American victory over Great Britain in the American Revolutionary War as commander-in-chief of the Continental Army from 1775 to 1783, and presided over the writing of the Constitution in 1787. Washington became the first president by unanimous choice, and oversaw the creation of a strong, well-financed national government that maintained neutrality in the wars raging in Europe, suppressed rebellion and won acceptance among Americans of all types. His leadership style established many forms and rituals of government that have been used since, such as using a cabinet system and delivering an inaugural address. Washington is universally regarded as the "Father of his country".

Automatische Übersetzung: George Washington auf seinem Sterbebett, umgeben von Freunden und Familie. Am 12. Dezember 1799 verbrachte Washington mehrere Stunden damit, sein Anwesen zu Pferd zu inspizieren. Das Wetter war schlecht, mit Schnee, Hagel und Eisregen. Er setzte sich an diesem Abend zum Abendessen, ohne seine nassen Kleider zu wechseln. Am nächsten Morgen erwachte er mit einer schlimmen Erkältung, Fieber und einer Halsentzündung, die zu einer akuten Kehlkopfentzündung und einer Lungenentzündung führte. Washington starb am Abend des 14. Dezember 1799 im Alter von 67 Jahren in seinem Haus. Es wird berichtet, dass die letzten Worte von George Washington ?Es ist gut? lauteten. George Washington (1731 oder 1732?1799) war der erste Präsident der USA Vereinigte Staaten von Amerika, diente von 1789 bis 1797 und war von 1775 bis 1799 dominanter militärischer und politischer Führer der Vereinigten Staaten. Er führte den amerikanischen Sieg über Großbritannien im Amerikanischen Unabhängigkeitskrieg als Oberbefehlshaber der Kontinentalarmee an 1775 bis 1783 und leitete 1787 die Ausarbeitung der Verfassung. Washington wurde durch einstimmige Wahl der erste Präsident und überwachte die Schaffung einer starken, gut finanzierten nationalen Regierung, die in den in Europa tobenden Kriegen Neutralität wahrte, Aufstände unterdrückte und gewann bei Amerikanern aller Couleur Akzeptanz. Sein Führungsstil begründete viele Regierungsformen und -rituale, die seitdem angewendet wurden, beispielsweise die Verwendung eines Kabinettssystems und das Halten einer Antrittsrede. Washington gilt allgemein als ?Vater seines Landes?
