In May of 1796, 22-year-old Ona Judge escaped enslavement from the household of the most powerful man in the United States: George Washington. Soon thereafter she became the subject of an intense manhunt led by Washington himself. In a discussion that spans her scholarship on slavery, racial injustice, and gender inequality, Erica Armstrong Dunbar explores the incredible story of this courageous young woman who defied the man who had brought freedom to some, but not all, who lived in the United States. Recorded January 7, 2021.

In today's episode, we talk about one of the Founding Fathers, and the first president of the United States: George Washington. Washington was one of the most influential presidents of the United States. He set the precedence which other American presidents would follow. Now, if we decided to take Washington out of the political picture, what would happen? Would the Union remain? Or would his replacement be able to hold onto the Union? And who would his replacement even be? There are multiple potential candidates, but which one would be the most qualified, and accepted by the American people. And what ripple would this cause throughout American history.

And that is 1789 United States of America, which we just came out of the Shades Rebellion around three years earlier in 1786, as a result of property taxes being way too high in Massachusetts. And the Shades Rebellion really showed and really highlighted the problems of the Articles of Confederation, which was a lack of a strong enough government in order to enforce taxes and commerce, for example. And that's why, for example, we see a lot of the numerator powers to commerce. And this is an example of, for example, like enumerated powers such as the Commerce Clause. And there's also the congressional ability to tax States, and they have the ability to enforce it as well. And so during this time period, the Constitution was authored by James Madison, eventually signed by every state around 1790, with the exception of Vermont, which is a special case because it actually was independent during the time period the Revolutionary War. And so it would only come into the United States around 1793. So this scenario would take out Washington. Let's just say he does not get convinced to run and just says, no, I'm going to stay at home for the rest of my life. What does that bring to the table? Because Washington was a pretty big unifier and a lot of people he was the only one to do it. However, that might not be exactly true. So who do you think would be able to do? Because I'm going to go first here. So I think if we're going to look to who is able to do it, in a sense, I think there's only one realistic point of view we're going to have to have. And I think it's going to be the Federalists. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/rohan-parikh7/message

He’s on our money, our capital is named after him and he’s even in our extremely weird car ads. But how much do you really know about statesman, general, farmer, slave master, husband, stepfather, and first President of the United States George Washington? According to Alexis Coe, author of You Never Forget Your First: A Biography of George Washington, probably not as much as you might think. Coe walks us through the surprising life of the man on the one dollar bill.

Welcome to Speak English Now Podcast. With your host Georgiana. The podcast that will help you to speak English fluently with no grammar and no textbooks. Hi, everybody! I'm Georgiana, your online English teacher, and founder of speakenglishpodcast.com My mission is to help you to speak English fluently. Today I'd like to introduce you to American history. After all, if you really want to consolidate your English, you'll have to learn more about American culture and society. And what better way to start than with George Washington the first president of the United States? George Washington was the Commander-in-Chief of the Continental First Army that fought the British when the country was not yet established. During the American Revolution, Washington led the colonial forces to victory over the British and was considered a national hero. He became the first president of the United States in 1789 in the first American elections. He was also elected for a second term in 1793. Therefore, he was the only president to win 100 percent of the electoral votes. In the United States, people celebrate George Washington's birthday on the third Monday in February. Like that people always have a day off even if his birthday falls during the weekend. Many people want the holiday to celebrate the birthday of another president, Abraham Lincoln, who was also born in February. Therefore, different U.S. states have renamed the day Presidents Day.     READ THE TEXT HERE: speakenglishpod.com
