george washington especially was a really detail oriented, organized guy. his older half-brother lawrence was not that way. even augustine was not that way. george was super organized from an early age. that wasn't just a native personality trait. that was his mom. i was as mom telling him, look you have a lot of stuff going on, you have to be very organized and very careful. i like to think that she also imposed in him the fear of debt. he was afraid of two things, thomas jefferson and debt. he didn't know tom yet, but in this stage it was debt. that was terrifying to him. as i mentioned, he saw what what happened to many of his neighbors. you can you can see it in the newspapers, these lotteries and tire sales of gentry men going out of business and what would happen. she was a huge influence on his life. she was also the woman who prevented him going out to see when he was 14. he resented this in many ways. their relationship became very tense and very problematic later on in life, but again, part of this was george, he had an irresponsible side to him bu

around, he only saw one person that day who particularly looked happy, which was, of course, george washington who had a look on his face that said, you are in and i'm out. now let's find out who is the happier. washington would quietly go to private life and i think very happily withdraw from the scene. adams himself would be inaugurated. he would have a difficult presidency because now really we are seeing the throws of political fighting going on. but it happened peacefully. we proved that constitution worked. we proved that we could continue in times of difficulty like this that we could continue forward with the system in place. in 1800, they would leave this building and move to the current capitol in washington, d.c. adams and jefferson would have another difficult election at that time. this time jefferson winning. he would be the first president inaugurated in the new capitol of washington, d.c. but these years in philadelphia are setting the tone for the rest of our early history. and all the way up to today. so the room itself will start out as a courthouse. so this would have been
