The Virtual University: George Washington

[LarryLawrence]

Yale Professor Joanne Freeman lecture on The Importance of George Washington. This lecture focuses on George Washington and the combined qualities that made him a key figure in Revolutionary America, arguing that the most crucial reason for his success as a national leader was that he proved repeatedly that he could be trusted with power – a vital quality in a nation fearful of the collapse of republican governance at the hands of a tyrant.
