George Washington Traits

Summary 
So far in the book its talking about the Revolution. In the book it talks about how George never saw black soldiers. In the book it states that "Some were freemen; others were slaves promised freedom in exchange for enlistment. George's first instinct was to bar blacks,free or slave. George needed all the soldiers he can get. I then move on to chapter 8 "A More Perfect Union".  In chapter 8 it states that George Washington's mother was threatening him to move in with him. George was 51 when the war ended.

Traits
George Washington is a very calm person. I know this because in the book on chapter one "Growing up" it states that "George didn't really care for living under his mother's thumb, he spent more and more time visiting friends and relations". George grew up in a wealthy family. George was also very helpful. He liked to help others in need. George was also very unique. On page 17 it states that "George was a very handsome, well connected young man with reddish brown hair and blue-grey eyes and his height over 6 feet made him stand out. There wasn't many children that was over six feet so he was unique at the time.
