Overview

This compelling fifteen-lecture course, presented by West Point history professor Seanegan Sculley, answers questions about one of the most foundational figures in American history: George Washington. The course explores Washington's singular military career from its beginnings during the French and Indian War through the end of the Revolution. After investigating Washington's boyhood experiences and his service in the French and Indian War, it explores the first years of the American Revolution, the second half of the war, during which Washington learns from his mistakes and builds a more professional army, and his actions as a strategist and tactician, as a military administrator and commander, and as the first president of the United States, wrestling with lingering issues from the War for Independence.
