Description
More than any other man, George Washington captured the popular imagination of late-eighteenth-century America. While most historians have cast him as a towering symbol of the great Republican Revolution, virtuous and courageous, some contemporaries perceived a dark side to his character, viewing him as a hard, cold, cunning, and ruthless leader who wished to be surrounded only by sycophants.
