George Washington (February 22, 1732, December 14, 1799) As President, he built a strong, well-financed national government that stayed neutral in the wars raging in Europe, suppressed the rebellion, and won acceptance among Americans of all types, but also saw the advent of contentious political parties. Washington was universally regarded as the "Father of his Country". Finish: Solid brass, electro-plated with non-tarnishing silver finish, giclee print.
