george washington as a man of wise judgment. but george washington is a man. like every man, he screws up from time to time and makes bad judgments. he made an horrendous this judgment when he decided to take an addict arnold and give him command of the city of philadelphia after general howe's army withdrew in 1778. one historian exaggerates but makes the point when he said, "had washington deliberately planned to crucify arnold, he could not have treated him more cruelly." to put this man with his condition in this situation sets the stage for trouble. you have got to remember benedict arnold is extremely embittered by what happens in the aftermath of saratoga where horatio gates gets all the credit he feels he deserves. from his perspective, he sacrificed virtually his life to the cause. one of many quotes from arnold. having made every sacrifice of fortune and blood to become a cripple in the services of my country -- he is disillusioned with republican government. it seems, from his perspective, it is run by a group of shortsighted and corrupt officials.

later on the delegates were dining with george washington at his home, and an artist was there. and he had just completed the iconic portrait of washington, the life-size portrait of him in his military outfit. and washington wanted a visual joke to be played on the delegates. and he had him put the painting on one side of a door that washington then opened so the delegates could see him and see him in his outfit in the painting. they loved it. everyone had a good laugh. they felt it and didn't like the way it felt. so the artist asked if he could paint them and they said no. but he did draw them sover that evening and throughout the week that they were there. those drawings are in this exhibit. they're just beautiful drawings. and unlike anything that he really ever did. and that's because he was doing it in secret. i'm so glad he did that, even though the delegates didn't want that to be done, because it's the closest thing we have to a photograph of who the native negotiators were. and i love the story, because no one ever thinks of washington as being a jokester or having a s

one of the greatest generals after george washington end of the continental army and the man supposedly that washington chose to be his successor to take over as commander in chief. but yet for all his accomplishments nathaniel greene was always filled with self doubt and uncertainty about himself. born in rhode island in son of a quaker family nathaniel love to read books in thought only one book was worth reading which was the bible. it was really under his father's thumb until his late 20s the end is father died and he began to view the affairs of the day. and it was sullen highboy let that point they become very close friends but the friendship lasted the rest of their lives. with the theory of war this was new because he was brought up as a quaker but he really made himself an expert such as the revolutionary war approached he decided to start a company in rhode island that when it came time to elect officers this man would not vote for him because he had lamp -- live. greed was very hurt by this than the typical reaction he said i quit and i am going home. his friends tried to tal

( applause ) ( cheers ) yeah. that's how we did it. now, we looked it up, and in actuality, washington didn't torture them. but that doesn't mean he didn't. because while the c.i.a. was conducting an all-you-can-pump rectal-hydration festival, here's what george bush said. >> the united states does not torture. >> stephen: and he should know because he specifically asked not to be told. now, another person who doesn't want to be told things is wolf blitzer, who yesterday blitzed dianne feinstein, the chairman of the senate commit they released this report. >> was it worth it to release this report today if in fact american lives, diplomats, military personnel, civilians are going to be in danger? >> look, there is no perfect time to release this report. there have been beheading

i feel i must mention here that george washington's only visit abroad was to the islands of barbados. he went there at a time when he hadn't visited many parts of the 13 colonies. he went there with his older half-brother, lawrence washington, who was ill. lawrence washington later died and left george washington [indiscernible] mount vernon was named after a british admiral in the caribbean. admiral vernon introduced a tradition of serving rum in the british navy and therefore even mount vernon had a caribbean connection. benjamin franklin said his nephew, who is something of a black sheep called benjamin makem, he sent him down to the island of antigua. franklin's own apprentice when he was in philadelphia was active in barbados. they had an active renting presses. perhaps the most famous connection is alexander hamilton, who was born on the island. these are just representatives. there was a tremendous traffic in people and mutual knowledge, and it was quite likely that many would know the islands more than they knew many of their neighboring states. the islands shared with the mai

we are on the top floor of the main library at george washington university which is where we live. we are in a room full of boxes of declassified documents. it's really an artifact because most of the declassified documents we get today are actually digital. a lot of boring digital, scanned or made digital and certainly the people that use our collections are using them online. in fact, in the courses we teach here at george washington, for most of these kids, if it's not online, it doesn't exist. so part of our whole mission has been to get these primary sources, loose from the government through freedom of information act request, and declassification review, and then get them into digital formats, organize them, extreme them, curette them, index them, so then students can find them, journalists can find them. citizens can find them. and even we get calls from congress. they have questions, too. >> how are you funded and where did you come from? >> we really were started by a whole group of journalists and historians back in the mid 1980s, each of whom had used the freedom of inf

, and george washington took thomas marshall out on surveying trips where they surveyed the lands of lord fairfax. what's called the northern neck of virginia, a huge piece of land on chesapeake bay was all owned by lord fairfax before the revolution. and washington and marshall were favorites of his, and he sent them out to survey his land. after virginia, the commonwealth of virginia was going bankrupt and it threatened to seize lands that were not lived in. so fairfax quickly saw to it that his lands were surveyed so that he could keep up that property. well, john marshall was one of, was his first -- was thomas or marshall's first born son, the oldest of 15 children. all of whom survived, which was rare in those days. so as the oldest of this brood, he became a surrogate leader in a sense. he solved their arguments because the father was off surveying a lot of the time, and thomas was the oldest and became this wonderful negotiator of all these battles between his brothers and sisters. he then was, he was educated by his father and mother at home as a youngster and then sent to a

to have the sense that george washington looked at this piece of paper, approves the copy, and said __ send it out for ratification. so that the people of america could decide on their own rights. but there was a second reaction i had when i took a careful look. i looked at the document and said, i don't know, but i think you've been had. i'm pretty sure there are only 10 amendments, and this piece of paper has 12. it took seeing the document for me to learn, and i'm sure i will not be alone, that we send 12 out for ratification and only 10 survived. if you read carefully __ and we have the best preserved copy __ the ratification process got rid of two for stupid proposals. if not for that process, we would have at a bill of rights that ensured a congress of 6000 members. that would have been good.
