George Washington and the Making of America: The Revolutionary War and First Presidency
Workshop
"George Washington and the Making of America: The Revolutionary War and First Presidency" will take place on Zoom from 5:00–6:15 p.m. CT on October 2 and 9. The first session will explore why Washington's republican principles mattered even more than his battlefield victories for securing America's independence and representative government. The second session will trace Washington's efforts from the Philadelphia Convention through his two presidential administrations to create the presidency as we know it today. Denver Brunsman of George Washington University will lead the webinars.
