George Washington is known as the father of our country because most people know him as our first president, and that he commanded the Revolutionary War.
The answer is because of nationalism
Day 10: Mr. Turner
Americas are full of trees and many other wonders. I have seen Indians roam around the area. I hope tomorrow I will be able to get a closer look at their lifestyle. They dress in animal skin with their long dark hair in braids. They haven’t noticed our arrival, but I hope we won’t run into any problems. However, this is our new land that we discovered. I walked around and started to grab supplies as a Indian pointed his bow at me. I knew this would cause a fight between us and these natives.
Hope this helps.
