He was Commander in Chief of the army and fought the British in the War of Independence. When the war ended in 1783, he was happy to go back to the farm, but his country wanted him to be president. Finally, in 1789, he became president, and gave his name to the new capital city. He started the building of the White House, but he never lived in it. By 1797 he was tired of politics.
