George Washington

1732–1799 · Founding Fathers
The Record

Commander of the Continental Army and the first president, Washington set the precedent of relinquishing power — twice walking away from it to protect the young republic.

The Contradiction

He's the man who walked away from power — twice. But his parting warning is the one America forgot: avoid permanent alliances, stay out of other nations' quarrels, owe loyalty to no foreign cause. The father of the country was its first skeptic of fighting other people's wars overseas.

The Doctrine

“Trade with all, entangle with none — owe no foreign quarrel your blood.”
