(2) George Washington was born into a moderately wealthy family on February 22, 1732 in Westmoreland County, Virginia. The family owned a tobacco
plantation. George was homeschooled and also spent a lot of time learning
hands-on skills through his friendship with the plantation workers. When George
was sixteen, he became a land surveyor and helped to plot the land in Virginia's
western territory. Through this experience, he learned skills such as farming and
resourcefulness, and he developed an interest in western land holdings and
purchases. It was this passion that brought about his belief that the future of the
nation depended on the colonization of the West.
