Happy Happy Time...
Happy Birthday to the original and still the best president containing the initials G-W. Among his many accomplishments:
- Effectively started the Seven Years' War (known in the US as the French and Indian War), the first truly world war
- Almost single-handedly held the army together and kicked the British out of America
- Was a deist - don't believe anything else
- Unlike all the other slaveowning Founding Fathers (Jefferson, Madison, etc.) freed his slaves
- Unlike the dozens of anti-colonial revolutionaries America and Washington inspired, he left office voluntarily
