Before you all get teary eyed on me and go binge watch some Waltons. Washington was a great man, but also consider.....

He was a land surveyor
He was in charge of the army
He won a war and a continent of "free" land
He became president of that "free" land
He ended up one of the largest landholders in the US

He wasnt a land "speculator" as history would tell us. To speculate would involve some risk.

Many of our more famous forefathers in politics were "speculators" of land. Ya think graft started in the 20th century?

To the victor go the spoils. They name states and towns and colleges and beer and capitols and all sorts of shite after you.
