don't teach American History. George Washington was the father of our Country--right?
However, there were two men who were his mentors and sidekicks.
The first man was Half King of the Senecas and Iroquois who was kidnapped by the French
so he spoke fluent French. He did reconnaissance for him in the French and Indian War
and taught him to fight like the American Indian.
Mr. Billy Lee was not a slave but an important Military Aide to Washington in the
American Revolution. A son of Colonel John Lee did the finances for Washington,
fought in the Revolution with a uniform sometimes fancier than Washington and
rode a horse named Chinkling and was the best horseman, along with Washington
and his horse, Nelson, in the Colonies.
These men, one black, and American Indian, and Washington were important in our
Country's beginning. Please look them up.
These hokey pokey news feeds that predict the end of the world in 12 years. How
would they know? Every time we take a breath of oxygen we exhale carbon dioxide.
We learned this in first year biology in high school.
Just thinking, why don't we remember these things.
