Before America knew him as George Washington... he was just a young man hoping someone would tell him he belonged.

Long before he crossed the Delaware...
Long before he became the first President...
Long before he refused a crown...

George Washington desperately wanted the approval of the British Empire.

He never got it.

In this first episode of This American Character, we tell the forgotten story of the young man who rode hundreds of miles seeking a royal commission—and how one disappointment helped shape the character that would one day shape a nation.

This isn't a history lecture.

It's a story about character.

Because history remembers great Americans.

We're here to remember the moments that made them great.

🇺🇸 Presented by YourPocketConstitution.com

Not the victories.
