Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battle-field of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this. But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate-we can not consecrate-we can not hallow-this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us-that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion-that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain-that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom-and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth. -You

We still pay the 'Stamp tax' in the UK, we call it Stamp duty and whenever someone buys a house over a certain price they pay a % in tax towards the government. When David Cameron was Prime Minister he scrapped Stamp Duty for first time buyers in order to help them get onto the property ladder. Part of the Economic Covid relief efforts of the current Government they've frozen stamp duty all together so you don't have to pay it if you're buying a house till a later date.

[@slightlyistorical1776]

I’m just going to list a bunch of fun facts about George Washington since we’re here: George Washington would regularly walk in the streets of Philadelphia during his presidency among the people to separate the boundaries of leader and common citizen. George Washington was extremely peculiar in his body language and enjoyed being in control of himself, meaning he hated being touched and small talk. George Washington encouraged his subordinates to criticize him. George Washington donated thousands of dollars of his own money to the creation of the first Jewish and Catholic churches in the U.S., being a strong advocate for religious tolerance and the freedom to worship. He also allowed his slaves to freely practice their own religions on Mount Vernon. George Washington was 6 foot 3, towering over his men in the field of battle. George Washington was swoll as hell. On one instance, he overheard several drunkards outside of his tent and proceeded to beat most of them up and cussed them all out. George Washington never wore a wig, he powdered his hair white and even put a covering in his collar so that the powder didn’t stick to his shirt. George Washington stuck with his men throughout the entire conflict, even personally training them at Valley Forge himself. George Washington doesn’t have a middle name, as it was not yet commonplace to be given such at the time. George Washington was known to be very respectful towards all women, listening to them with full interest and was known to be a womanizer, however he still remained fully faithful to Martha. George Washington aimed to establish a peaceful coexistence with the Native American peoples, signing the Pickering Treaty in 1794 in hopes that his countrymen would respect the boundaries and cultures of the indigenous Indians after his death (unfortunately this would not last). George Washington was the first to sign the Constitution of the United States. George Washington was proclaimed to be one of the greatest military strategists in history by Prussian Kaiser Fredrick Wilhelm II. George Washington was a huge taphephobic, meaning he was terrified about the prospect of being buried alive by accident. Upon his death, he requested he would be buried three days after to ensure he was deceased, and both his and Martha’s tombs were placed above ground in Mount Vernon just to ensure that if he ever woke up again, he could get out safely. You can see their sarcophaguses on the property (George’s has the U.S. coat of arms on the lid). George Washington commanded a desegregated army, so much to the extent where a quarter of his northern force was comprised of African Americans fighting for their freedom. George Washington envisioned the U.S. as an asylum for all people of the world to live in, openly expressing his support for foreign immigration. George Washington was a Freemason. George Washington was one of the highest donors to higher education for the poor in America. George Washington wore civilian clothing during his presidency, an act that appalled the European monarchs who always dressed in military honors, dresses, or other royal clothing that costed more than a suburban house. George Washington was given the key to the Bastille by the French revolutionary government, it can be found in Mount Vernon on display. George Washington despised holding power, repeatedly stating how he would rather be in his grave than be proclaimed emperor of the world. George Washington was posthumously promoted to General of the Armies in 1976, a six-star rank, by means to secure that he would not be outranked by any future military personnel. George Washington’s face was plastered everywhere in the young nation during his presidency and especially after his death. Think North Korea and China except the people actually _want_ his face in their house. George Washington stopped a potential coup d’etat against the Second Continental Congress, which would have granted him full power over the government as a despot. George Washington regularly exposed himself to enemy fire, most famously during the Seven Years’ War when French and native soldiers were firing at his soldiers in all directions in Monongahela. Washington led his men out of the battle, his clothes covered in bullet holes but not a single wound on him. One of the French-aligned natives who was present even approached Washington after his inauguration, congratulating him and telling the President that he had fired at him point-blank during the battle several times and missed all of the shots, convincing the native warrior that Washington was protected by the gods. George Washington is the only slave-owning president who freed all of his slaves. The ideal cause of the Revolution caused him to question the morality of chattel slavery and by the 1780’s and 90’s, he openly stated how he no longer wanted to own people, participate in the slave trade, or separate families, even supporting policies of gradual emancipation and putting an end to the Atlantic slave trade. He even stated that all of his slaves were to be given proper education to pursue respectable fields of work and his estate would provide housing for the elderly. After his death, then-First Council Napoleon Bonaparte held a personal eulogy praising George Washington and ordered all of France to hold ten days of mourning, even the British Royal Navy flew their flags at half-staff upon learning the news.
