George Washington Uniting a Nation

In George Washington: Uniting a Nation, Don Higginbotham argues that Washington's greatest contribution to American life was creating a sense of American unity. In clear and concise prose, Higginbotham shows that as Revolutionary War commander, proponent of the Constitution, and President, George Washington focused on building national identity and erecting institutions to cement the fledgling nation.
