At the end of his second term Washington retired for personal and political reasons dismayed with personal attacks and to ensure that a truly contested presidential election could be held He did not feel bound to a two-term limit but his retirement set a significant precedent Washington is often credited with setting the principal of a two-term presidency but it was Thomas Jefferson who first refused to run for a third term on political grounds. Slavery in the United States was the legal institution of human chattel enslavement primarily of Africans and African Americans that existed in the United States of America in the 17th 18th and 19th centuries Slavery had been practiced in British America from early colonial days and was legal in all Thirteen Colonies at the time of the Declaration of Independence in 1776 it lasted in about half the states until 1865 when it was prohibited nationally by the Thirteenth Amendment As an economic system slavery was largely replaced by sharecropping and convict leasing. . . The United States Constitution adopted in 1787 prevented Congress from completely banning the importation of slaves until 1808 although Congress regulated it in the Slave Trade Act of 1794 and in subsequent Acts in 1800 and 1803. After the Revolution numerous states individually passed laws against importing slaves by contrast the states of Georgia and South Carolina reopened their trade due to demand by their upland planters who were developing new cotton plantations: Georgia from 1800 until December 31 1807 and South Carolina from 1804 in that period Charleston traders imported about 75,000 slaves more than were brought to South Carolina in the 75 years before the Revolution. Approximately 30,000 were imported to Georgia; 1988 82.6% 159,407 14.3% 27,590 Underground Railroad, Valletta Malta (1571) In addition many parts of the country were tied to the Southern economy As the historian James Oliver Horton noted prominent slaveholder politicians and the commodity crops of the South had a strong influence on United States politics and economy Horton said, 12 See also In a 1778 letter to Lund Washington he made clear his desire "to get quit of Negroes" when discussing the exchange of slaves for land he wanted to buy the next year he stated his intention not to separate families as a result of "a change of masters." During the 1780s Washington privately expressed his support for gradual emancipation of slaves. Between 1783 and 1786 he gave moral support to a plan proposed by Lafayette to purchase land and free slaves to work on it but declined to participate in the experiment. Washington privately expressed support for emancipation to prominent Methodists Thomas Coke and Francis Asbury in 1785 but declined to sign their petition in personal correspondence the next year he made clear his desire to see the institution of slavery ended by a gradual legislative process a view that correlated with the mainstream antislavery literature published in the 1780s that Washington possessed! Cabinet and executive departments, Washington grew restless in retirement prompted by tensions with France and he wrote to Secretary of War James McHenry offering to organize President Adams' army. In a continuation of the French Revolutionary Wars French privateers began seizing American ships in 1798 and relations deteriorated with France and led to the "Quasi-War" Without consulting Washington Adams nominated him for a lieutenant general commission on July 4 1798 and the position of commander-in-chief of the armies. Washington chose to accept replacing James Wilkinson and he served as the commanding general from July 13 1798 until his death 17 months later He participated in planning for a provisional army but he avoided involvement in details in advising McHenry of potential officers for the army he appeared to make a complete break with Jefferson's Democratic-Republicans: "you could as soon scrub the blackamoor white as to change the principles of a profest Democrat; and that he will leave nothing unattempted to overturn the government of this country." Washington delegated the active leadership of the army to Hamilton a major general No army invaded the United States during this period and Washington did not assume a field command, 6 References See also: Anti-literacy law.

Most Washington citizens embraced the arriving troops although there were pockets of apathy and Southern sympathy Upon hearing a Union regiment singing "John Brown's Body" as the soldiers marched beneath her window resident Julia Ward Howe wrote the patriotic "Battle Hymn of the Republic" to the same tune; Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development: Paris In Louisiana French colonists had established sugar cane plantations and exported sugar as the chief commodity crop After the Louisiana Purchase in 1803 Americans entered the state and joined the sugar cultivation Between 1810 and 1830 planters bought slaves from the North and the number of slaves increased from less than 10,000 to more than 42,000 Planters preferred young males who represented two-thirds of the slave purchases Dealing with sugar cane was even more physically demanding than growing cotton the largely young unmarried male slave force made the reliance on violence by the owners "especially savage". Union of South American Nations: Cochabamba and Quito In Santa Fe Governor Manuel Armijo wanted to avoid battle but on August 9 Catholic priests Diego Archuleta (the young regular-army commander) and the young militia officers Manuel Chaves and Miguel Pino forced him to muster a defense. Armijo set up a position in Apache Canyon a narrow pass about 10 miles (16 km) southeast of the city. However on August 14 before the American army was even in view he decided not to fight (An American named James Magoffin claimed he had convinced Armijo and Archuleta to follow this course; an unverified story says he bribed Armijo.) When Pino Chaves and some of the militiamen insisted on fighting Armijo ordered the cannon pointed at them the New Mexican army retreated to Santa Fe and Armijo fled to Chihuahua. . The growing international demand for cotton led many plantation owners further west in search of suitable land in addition the invention of the cotton gin in 1793 enabled profitable processing of short-staple cotton which could readily be grown in the uplands the invention revolutionized the cotton industry by increasing fifty-fold the quantity of cotton that could be processed in a day At the end of the War of 1812 fewer than 300,000 bales of cotton were produced nationally by 1820 the amount of cotton produced had increased to 600,000 bales and by 1850 it had reached 4,000,000 There was an explosive growth of cotton cultivation throughout the Deep South and greatly increased demand for slave labor to support it. As a result manumissions decreased dramatically in the South, The democratic ideals of the Revolution inspired changes in the roles of women. 2 Political representation Reconstruction, King George III 9.1 Ideology behind the Revolution, Washington D.C.

Historian Ron Chernow maintains that Weems attempted to humanize Washington making him look less stern and to inspire "patriotism and morality" and to foster "enduring myths" such as Washington's refusal to lie about damaging his father's cherry tree. Weems' accounts have never been proven or disproven. Historian John Ferling however maintains that Washington remains the only founder and president ever to be referred to as "godlike" and points out that his character has been the most scrutinized by historians past and present. Historian Gordon S Wood concludes that "the greatest act of his life the one that gave him his greatest fame was his resignation as commander-in-chief of the American forces." Chernow suggests that Washington was "burdened by public life" and divided by "unacknowledged ambition mingled with self-doubt." a 1993 review of presidential polls and surveys consistently ranked Washington number 4 3 or 2 among presidents a 2018 Siena College Research Institute survey ranked him number 1 among presidents.
