"A dozen descendants of Jennings came to Washington to visit the White House They looked at the painting their relative helped save." in an interview with National Public Radio Jennings' great-great-grandson Hugh Alexander said "We were able to take a family portrait in front of the painting which was for me one of the high points." He confirmed that Jennings later purchased his freedom from the widowed Dolley Madison, Main article: American Revolutionary War. President Taylor opposed the compromise and continued to call for immediate statehood for both California and New Mexico. Senator John C Calhoun and some other Southern leaders argued that the compromise was biased against the South because it would lead to the creation of new free states. Most Northern Whigs led by William Henry Seward who delivered his famous "Higher Law" speech during the controversy opposed the Compromise as well because it would apply the Wilmot Proviso to the western territories and because of the pressing of ordinary citizens into duty on slave-hunting patrols That provision was inserted by Democratic Virginia Senator James M Mason to entice border-state Whigs who faced the greatest danger of losing slaves as fugitives but were lukewarm on general sectional issues related to the South on Texas's land claims, Washington Gas is the city's natural gas utility and serves over one million customers in the District and its suburbs Incorporated by Congress in 1848 the company installed the city's first gas lights in the Capitol the White House and along Pennsylvania Avenue. 1900 278,718 21.0% Demobilization and resignation Organization of American States: Washington D.C. Second committee room in Congress Hall in Philadelphia. In 1788 Washington declined a suggestion from a leading French abolitionist Jacques Brissot to establish an abolitionist society in Virginia stating that although he supported the idea the time was not yet right to confront the issue the historian Henry Wiencek (2003) believes based on a remark that appears in the notebook of his biographer David Humphreys that Washington considered making a public statement by freeing his slaves on the eve of his presidency in 1789 the historian Philip D Morgan (2005) disagrees believing the remark was a "private expression of remorse" at his inability to free his slaves. Other historians agree with Morgan that Washington was determined not to risk national unity over an issue as divisive as slavery. Washington never responded to any of the antislavery petitions he received and the subject was not mentioned in either his last address to Congress or his Farewell Address.

On Washington's recommendation Braddock split the army into one main column and a lightly equipped "flying column". Suffering from a severe case of dysentery Washington was left behind and when he rejoined Braddock at Monongahela the French and their Indian allies ambushed the divided army the British suffered two-thirds casualties including the mortally wounded Braddock Under the command of Lieutenant Colonel Thomas Gage Washington still very ill rallied the survivors and formed a rear guard which allowed the remnants of the force to disengage and retreat. During the engagement he had two horses shot from under him and his hat and coat were bullet-pierced.

Kidd argues that religious disestablishment belief in God as the source of human rights and shared convictions about sin virtue and divine providence worked together to unite rationalists and evangelicals and thus encouraged a large proportion of Americans to fight for independence from the Empire Bailyn on the other hand denies that religion played such a critical role.
