Under the Articles of Confederation, a national tax could be imposed only if every state agreed to it, and several states opposed a national levy to pay soldiers. After all, the motivation for fighting King George and Parliament included a resentment of taxes, deep suspicion of national power concentrated in the center and opposition to a large standing army. So a national tax imposed by Congress to support the army seemed to be recreating the very conditions men had given their lives to oppose.
Gen. Arthur St. Clair warned Congress that “a convulsion of the most dreadful nature and consequence was brewing.” After all, as Gouverneur Morris said to Alexander Hamilton, “the army have swords in their hands.” Hamilton, in turn, informed James Madison that the army had “secretly determined” to hold on to their weapons until they were sure of being paid.
Historian Robert Morris has said that gathering on March 15, 1783, “marked one of the key turning points in the history of the newly independent nation.” Washington asked Gates to chair the meeting, neutralizing him and his supporters by including them. The future president then went on the attack, calling anyone who would turn the army against the government “an insidious foe” of both.
Lesson learned, don't nominate a candidate who lacks them!
I thought it was the peoples America ?
Like, Washington, Trump needs to stand strong to his goals and for the Americans who look back to the founding of our young country. Washington Post tries to dismantle that.
George Washington was seen as a traitor to the Crown in his day. After he became president, even Thomas Jefferson made negative comments about his ideology.
DONNIEDO principles that is the joke of his life . DONNIEDO on principles bend over or I will grab it.!..
TheDemocrats need a history lesson
Why does Washington even count anymore, irrelevant!
This reads like an atheist quoting the bible. Remember, Kiddos, Ole George owned slaves! CognitiveDissonance

About Principles: Trump came in with the emblem already on his hat. He could have used --HIM, but chose the inclusive America instead. tt: SalenaZito SaraCarterDC PressSec
From one slavetrader to another.
I tend not to give credence to slave owners
Washington wouldn’t be happy about Democrats or Republicans or the policies being pushed by the far left. Or the regime change being pushed by war hawks. He would think this country lost its way before Trump not because of him.
Just as relevant to the Democrats over the last 11 years. Or are you ignoring their go for the throat 2106 campaign, Sanders selling out his ideals for DNC money, AHCA mandate forcing compliance or seizing refunds...Dems/libs get a pass on their power trips.
😂. I think GW 's lesson to the liberal communists would be much more interesting. They would have already been tried , convicted and most likely, hanged for treason.
He Was A Slave Owner
I'd say getting the hell out of the Middle East and East Asia falls well within Washington's principle: BEWARE OF FOREIGN ENTANGLEMENTS!
How's the rating going so far?
What world are you living in? Washington would be disgusted by Democrats attempting to restrict the 1st and 2nd amendments, while attempting to abolish the electoral college.
You are the douchiest newspaper.
