Mount Vernon

Back then the worlds technology wasn’t that good, but people made use of what they had. For transportation they used carriage to move place to place quicker than walking. Carriages have a person sitting outside on a seat right in front of booth, and he controls a horse that pulls the carriage from the front. Passengers would sit in the booth that was in the back of the carriage. George Washington used to sit in this and get transported to different places he needed to be.

The reason George Washington didn’t want to lead his country for to long was because he just fought a huge war. Now he was very famous in the thirteen colonies, and everyone wants him to lead the the country. So he accepted this job as the executive of his country, but after eight years, which is two terms, he resigned. Before he resigned he made a farewell address, and in this he states many things that the country should not do. After all his work he just wanted to go home, relax, farm, and hang out with his family. Now I can see why he liked it so much, because it’s beautiful there. There is a room, open fields, a forest, and his giant mansion.
