George Washington
A short biography for kids!
Once upon a time, there was a brave man named George Washington. He was a leader during a time in America called the Revolutionary War.
This was a war when the colonies that would become the United States of America fought against their ruler, Great Britain, to gain their freedom.
George Washington led the soldiers in many battles and was very brave. He helped the colonies win the war and become a new nation.
After the war, he was chosen to be the first President of the United States of America.
One important moment during the war was when a group of important men, including George Washington, signed a special paper called the Declaration of Independence. This paper said that the colonies were no longer under British rule and were now their own nation.
George Washington was a very important leader during this time and helped make the United States of America the great nation it is today.
Here are some of the harder words. Let’s break them down into smaller parts to help you sound them out!
