Inauguration of George Washington, 1789

Lithograph entitled: "The inauguration of Washington as the first President of the United States at the old City Hall, New York, on April 30th, 1789." George Washington (February 22, 1732 - December 14, 1799) was the first President of the USA (1789-97), and dominant military and political leader from 1775-99. He led the American victory over Great Britain in the American Revolutionary War as commander-in-chief of the Continental Army from 1775-83. 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. He was hailed as "father of his country" even during his lifetime. Washington had a vision of a great and powerful nation that would be built on republican lines using federal power. He sought to use the national government to preserve liberty, improve infrastructure, open the western lands, promote commerce, found a permanent capital, reduce regional tensions and promote a spirit of American nationalism. He died in 1799 at the age of 67.
