THE FIRST LEADER OF THE EXECUTIVE BRANCH
This week's Wayback Wednesday 11/9/16, we will be working on this painting of President George Washington. We will look at a website that breaks down a large portion of the painting. This painting is much like the Watson and the Shark genre of history artwork. This painting was also saved by Mrs. Madison later in the War of 1812 with the British coming to attack the Whitehouse. There are many different types of paintings of Washington, however this painting fits right into chapter 6. The following links we will use to learn more about this painting.
Further we will check out the tradition of loyal opposition with the ceremony of the paintings to be added to the white house gallery in 2011. I hope we can see what we have been talking about in class on the Things that Hold Americans together. Best of Luck to you! Mr.C.

Another site that works here is a PDF you can bring to Wednesday's class.

While Washington was the father of this nation he also was an owner of slaves. After the Revolution our framers did not give up the institutions of slavery. This was a problem Benjamin Franklin though could end or break our newly freed country.
