Few folks realize that the all important dayStatesmanshipcame to reign supreme in Americawas the 23rd day of December in 1783, when General George Washington, gave a great Christmas gift to America, when he traveled to the State Capitol in Annapolis, Maryland.
There the Continental Congress was convened, and rather than arrest the legislators for their neglect in paying or supplying food for the soldiers of the American Army, as part of a coup as past military generals had done, or disband the legislature as Lord Protector and General Oliver Cromwell had done, General Washington did the decisive difference that gave birth to America as a Republic, so is rightly lauded as"the father of His country."
Following the examples of Senator Cato and farmer Cincinnatus of the Roman Republic, and more so of Jesus in John 6:15, General Washington appeared without his Commander-in-Chief blue sash, surrendered his sword, and resigned as General and Commander-in-Chief, so that never again would the officers, the soldiers, or even the people of America talk of making him, or anyone else, their "king".
Washington then "departed from them, and went unto the mountain", Mount Vernon, to celebrate Christmasat home with his beloved Martha and their grandchildren for the first time during the eight arduous years of America's victoriousWar for Independence.
When word reached King George III, of Washington's actions, he remarked about his humility in not seizing the reigns of power but rather resigning and submitting to the civilian powers, that Washington "...was the greatest man of his age, or perhaps any age."
Yes, indeed, by giving away the power he had in his hands, George Washington earned the honored status of "The Man for the Millenniums", the most important man in the world in the past 1000 years!
Might it be wise for "We the People" of America to learn again why Washington was so highly respected in his time? Why he should be so respected in these times, and for all time?
Washington was a true "Revolutionary", a man who changed the world for the better!

"Master of American History" per John McCaslin of The Washington Times on 29 Nov 2005; in 2003 wrote a "Revolutionary" Christmas play telling of the true first Statue of Liberty of a black boy soldier - who gave his life for your Liberty; in 2002 in-person history work was compared by Delegate Lee Ware to the work of David McCullough in books; from 1998 to 2001 former member of the Board of Visitors to Mount Vernon appointed by Governor Gilmore.
At age 12, wrote a 168 page paper on the War Between The States encouraged by my mentor from church, Ralph McGill. *** McGill was the Publisher of The Atlanta Constitution, and instructed me at age 10 to read and love "tHis Constitution FOR the United States of America" because as a young reporter, McGill witnessed the Austrians vote away their written Constitution for the promises of the government, the Nazi government! I ask how far are we in America from voting away our God given Constitution? ***
Ralph McGill received the Presidential Medal of Freedom in a.d. 1964, and the Pulitzer Prize in a.d. 1959. I was blessed by McGill's mentorship for he was called: "The Conscience of the South".
