one last ride is made darkly hilarious when you know what got him fired: nailing George Washington's almost-dead-of-syphilis-rear end to a horse as a PR stunt while he raised an army without Presidential approval to go declare war on French territories. the letter firing him could be accurately paraphrased "i've arranged for peace, you stupid bloodthirsty rear end in a top hat. if I hear you've stepped so much as a foot on French territory I will take great pleasure in hanging your rear end. huggles, Your Commander In Chief."

motherfucker had a very clear vision for how America should be run, and it was by one man, whose power should be basically unquestionable, and whose name should be Alexander Hamilton, Heir To General Washington.

there is a reason his political career post-washington consists of falling down a flight of stairs and getting stabbed seventy distinct times on the way down. homeboy was decent at making allies of convenience, and really, really loving bad at making friends.

that too. hamilton was a interesting rear end in a top hat to say the least but yeah, he was a authoritarian rear end in a top hat to say the least.

Yeah I'm not arguing Hamilton should have been President, lmao. I'm just saying that even an rear end in a top hat like him can be framed as preferable to some of the other poo poo that was going on at the time. He was a goddamn mess.

Washington is one of the perfect examples of the old 'compared to other people of his time' argument that gets trotted out whenever someone slightly educated nerds like is criticized for owning slaves, hating Jews or whatever. Compared to some of the other colossal assholes of the Founding Fathers, Washington seems like a pretty normal dude and is one of the ones who, had he been born in 1932 instead of 1732 probably wouldn't be posting on Freep.

I like washington despite the obvious stuff. he is an interesting guy and i like how he slowly matures his views. like when he is young he just wants to be a commisioned officer and respect but then he sees first hand how hosed up and worthless it is and he slowly becomes an actual leader. I like a bunch of founding fathers, they are interesting people. that being said the veneration poo poo bad and dumb. alot of my personal heroes(teddy and fdr) were flawed hosed up people but they are were complex figures and should be taught as such.

It's interesting how so many presidents took after Washington's model for the longest time. The presidency was a solemn burden to be endured until TR came along and made it a big old dick-swinging media spectacle.

jefferson talked about indian removal a bit and was certainly a huge rear end in a top hat to the indians (after decades of claiming they were all Noble and Equal to the White Man, another one of his hypocrisies), but washington was literally nicknamed "Town Destroyer" by the Seneca and directly lead massacres and poo poo, and when president actually sent the army out to genocide while President, something iirc jefferson never really did.

are you thinking of Jackson?

basically every 18th/19th century president was a huge monster when it came to native americans, trying to compare them on that is going to be a bad time. but Jackson was definitely the worst.

sulivan was pretty loving awful too. he went on giant death march through PA and basically killed off or displaced every tribe. i mean gently caress alot of the american revoltion was about killing or displacing the native americans because the mean old british empire said they couldnt colonize past a certain point. also my county would be the home to the Amish if they weren't repeatedly slaughtered by native american parties(they lived on the land before they got hosed by walking purchase and were understandably pissed) it scared the Amish so much they moved to Lancaster.

Wasn't "Town Destroyer" originally Washington's grandfather John Washington? Or did he pick it up after the colonials murdered the poo poo out of all of the Natives in Upstate New York?

wikipedias got the story

quote:

Washington was given the name in 1753 by the Seneca leader Tanacharison (the "Half-King").

Washington was given a nickname by The Half-King that hearkened back to one of Washington's forebearers. In the late seventeenth century, Washington's great-grandfather John Washington participated in an effort to suppress a Native American uprising in Virginia and Maryland that involved members of both the Susquehannah and the Piscataway, an Algonquian tribe that lived across the Potomac River from Mount Vernon. Following a massacre when five chiefs who had come out to negotiate under a flag of truce were murdered by colonists, the Susquehannahs gave John Washington an Algonquian name that translated to "town taker" or "devourer of villages." The elder Washington's reputation was remembered and when the Native Americans met his great-grandson in 1753 they called George Washington by the same name, Conotocarious.[2]

Washington indeed referred to himself as "Conotocaurious" in a letter he wrote to Andrew Montour dated October 10, 1755, in which he entreated the Oneida to resettle on the Potomac:

Recommend me kindly to our good friend Monacatootha, and others; tell them how happy it would make Conocotarious to have an opportunity of taking them by the hand at Fort Cumberland, and how glad he would be to treat them as brothers of our Great King beyond the waters.[3]
Washington in 1779 ordered the Sullivan Expedition in the American Revolutionary War, which destroyed at least 40 Iroquois villages in New York, from which the tribe had attacked American settlements. In 1790, the Seneca chief Cornplanter told President Washington: "When your army entered the country of the Six Nations, we called you Town Destroyer."
