George Washington face pot produced by Kevin Francis Ceramics of Stoke-on-Trent, England, circa 2002. George Washington (1732-1799) was an American military officer, statesman, and Founding Father who served as the first president of the United States from 1789 to 1797. Appointed by the Continental Congress as commander of the Continental Army, Washington led the Patriot forces to victory in the American Revolutionary War and served as the president of the Constitutional Convention of 1787, which created the Constitution of the United States and the American federal government. Washington has been called the "Father of his Country" for his manifold leadership in the formative days of the country. George's face pot quote, "Liberty, when it begins to take root, is a plant of rapid growth.", was written in a letter from Washington to James Madison in March of 1788.
