George Washington

"Your boy George chopped down trees!"

- Vince Offer

George Washington appeared in Epic Rap Battles of History 10 and was played by Pat McIntyre.

Information on the cameo
George Washington (1732-99) was commander in chief of the Continental Army during the American Revolutionary War (1775-83) and served two terms as the first U.S. president, from 1789 to 1797. The son of a prosperous planter, Washington was raised in colonial Virginia. As a young man, he worked as a surveyor then fought in the French and Indian War (1754-63). During the American Revolution, he led the colonial forces to victory over the British and became a national hero. In 1787, he was elected president of the convention that wrote the U.S. Constitution. Two years later, Washington became America's first president. Realizing that the way he handled the job would impact how future presidents approached the position, he handed down a legacy of strength, integrity and national purpose. Less than three years after leaving office, he died at his Virginia plantation, Mount Vernon, at age 67.

Appearance in the Rap Battle
In the rap battle, George Washington appeared after Vince Offer said the line: "Your boy George chopped down trees", which came from a story where Washington chopped down his father's cherry tree and confessed that he was the one who did it.
