George Washington (1732–1799) was a central, critical figure in the founding of the United States, as well as the nation's first president (1789–1797), after leading the Continental Army to victory over the Kingdom of Great Britain in the American Revolutionary War (1775–1783).
Washington was seen as symbolizing the new nation and republicanism in practice. His devotion to civic virtue made him an exemplary figure among early American politicians.

George Washington was a personal hero of Michael Stearns. In the days after the Ring of Fire, when Stearns's career was on the rise, he consciously modeled his approach to politics on that of Washington, trying to stay above the partisan fray.
