George Washington, as a military leader, was shaped in part by his upbringing. George Washington spent many days in his youthful years working as a surveyor for Lord Fairfax of England in what is now the State of Virginia. This experience gave him an understanding of the land he would later fight on as a soldier for and against the British. Washington fought in two famous wars of the 1700’s. The first he fought for the British as a Lt. Colonel and later as the Commander of all Virginian troops in the French and Indian war. The second was the Revolutionary War in which he fought as the Commander in Chief of the Continental Army; what would eventually be the army of the great United States of America.
Plant domestication: Cereals such as emmer wheat, einkorn wheat and barley were among the first crops domesticated by Neolithic farming communities in the Fertile Crescent. These early farmers also domesticated lentils, chickpeas, peas and flax.
