The Man Who Would Not Be King. February 20, 2006. George Washington is the face on the one-dollar bill and - these days - the smiling face of Presidentsâ Day sales. Most of us know he was the first president of the United States. But why is that important? What else do we know about him? George Washington was the man who established the American republic.
In less than forty years after Washingtonâs presidency, the entire national was eliminated and the U. S. actually (for a brief period) was a nation of surpluses and no debt. We had laid the foundation to become a great nation thanks in part to the excellent leadership of George Washington.hus, he committed the U. S. to paying off all debts incurred in fighting the Revolutionary War. When he took office in 1789, the U. S. owed about $41 million in IOUs to thousands of merchants, bankers, and citizens who loaned money to Washington and other leaders for guns, supplies, and food.
