In New York City, George Washington, the immense military pioneer of the American Revolution, is introduced as the principal leader of the United States.

In February 1789, each of the 69 presidential balloters consistently picked Washington to be the primary U.S. president. In March, the new U.S. constitution authoritatively produced results, and in April Congress formally sent word to Washington that he had won the administration. He acquired cash to pay off his obligations in Virginia and set out to New York. On April 30, he went over the Hudson River in an extraordinarily constructed and adorned canal boat. The inaugural service was performed on the gallery of Federal Hall on Wall Street, and a huge group cheered after he guaranteed of office. The president at that point resigned inside to peruse Congress his inaugural address, a peaceful discourse in which he discussed "the trial depended to the hands of the American individuals." The night festivity was opened and shut by 13 skyrockets and 13 guns.

As president, Washington looked to join the country and secure the interests of the new republic at home and abroad. Of his administration, he stated, "I stroll on untrodden ground. There is hardly any piece of my lead which may not in the future be attracted point of reference." He effectively actualized official expert, made great utilization of splendid legislators, for example, Alexander Hamilton and Thomas Jefferson in his bureau, and calmed fears of presidential oppression. In 1792, he was consistently re-chose however after four years rejected a third term. In 1797, he, at last, started a hotly anticipated retirement at his domain in Virginia. He passed on two years after the fact. His companion Henry Lee gave a renowned commendation to the father of the United States: "First in war, first in peace, and first in the hearts of his kinsmen."
