Washington was elected a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences on January 31 1781 before he had even begun his presidency. He was posthumously appointed to the grade of General of the Armies of the United States during the United States Bicentennial to ensure that he would never be outranked; this was accomplished by the congressional joint resolution Public Law 94-479 passed on January 19 1976 with an effective appointment date of July 4 1976.[u]. . Washington played a central role before and during the American Revolution His disdain for the British military had begun when he was abashedly passed over for promotion into the Regular Army He was opposed to the continuing taxes imposed by the British Parliament on the Colonies without proper representation. He and other colonists were also angered by the Royal Proclamation of 1763 which banned American settlement west of the Allegheny Mountains and protected the British fur trade. In ancient China where governments were massive centralized bureaucracies with little flexibility on the provincial level a dynasty could easily be toppled with the fall of its capital in the Three Kingdoms period both Shu and Wu fell when their respective capitals of Chengdu and Jianye fell the Ming dynasty relocated its capital from Nanjing to Beijing where they could more effectively control the generals and troops guarding the borders from Mongols and Manchus the Ming was destroyed when Li Zicheng took their seat of power and this pattern repeats itself in Chinese history until the fall of the traditional Confucian monarchy in the 20th century After the Qing dynasty's collapse decentralization of authority and improved transportation and communication technologies allowed both the Chinese Nationalists and Chinese Communists to rapidly relocate capitals and keep their leadership structures intact during the great crisis of Japanese invasion. .
On January 6 1759 Washington at age 26 married Martha Dandridge Custis the 28 year-old widow of wealthy plantation owner Daniel Parke Custis the marriage took place at Martha's estate; She was intelligent and gracious and experienced in managing a planter's estate and the couple created a happy marriage. They raised John Parke Custis (Jacky) and Martha Parke (Patsy) Custis children from her previous marriage and later their grandchildren Eleanor Parke Custis (Nelly) and George Washington Parke Custis (Washy) Washington's 1751 bout with smallpox is thought to have rendered him sterile though it is equally likely "Martha may have sustained injury during the birth of Patsy her final child making additional births impossible."

A total of about 7000 to 8000 Patriots served on "Committees of Correspondence" at the colonial and local levels comprising most of the leadership in their communities Loyalists were excluded the committees became the leaders of the American resistance to British actions and largely determined the war effort at the state and local level When the First Continental Congress decided to boycott British products the colonial and local Committees took charge examining merchant records and publishing the names of merchants who attempted to defy the boycott by importing British goods. St Clair resigned his commission and Washington replaced him with Revolutionary War hero General Anthony Wayne From 1792 to 1793 Wayne instructed his troops on Indian warfare tactics and instilled discipline which was lacking under St Clair in August 1794 Washington sent Wayne into tribal territory with authority to drive them out by burning their villages and crops in the Maumee Valley. On August 24 the American army under Wayne's leadership defeated the western confederacy at the Battle of Fallen Timbers and the Treaty of Greenville in August 1795 opened up two-thirds of the Ohio Country for American settlement. President Polk reprised these arguments in his Third Annual Message to Congress on December 7 1847. He scrupulously detailed his administration's position on the origins of the conflict the measures the U.S had taken to avoid hostilities and the justification for declaring war He also elaborated upon the many outstanding financial claims by American citizens against Mexico and argued that in view of the country's insolvency the cession of some large portion of its northern territories was the only indemnity realistically available as compensation This helped to rally congressional Democrats to his side ensuring passage of his war measures and bolstering support for the war in the U.S, 17.5 Documentary films Demonym(s) Washingtonian Despite the ban slave imports continued through smugglers bringing in slaves past the U.S Navy's African Slave Trade Patrol to South Carolina and overland from Texas and Florida both under Spanish control.
