    George Washington was born a natural leader, and he is probably one of the most influential men in all of American history. During the American Revolutionary War, he led his army to many triumphant victories. But he was not just a military leader. Washington, who was chosen to lead the Constitutional Convention, preferred to stay home at his farm in Virginia, but the people of the newly created United States of America begged him to run for president. Because of this, he won easily, and when they wanted him to go for a third term, he refused, believing one man should not have that much power. Finally, Washington retired and returned home. Today, his face appears on money, and the capital of the U.S. is named after him. He is forever remembered and revered as a natural born leader.
