Discover The Washington Monument
Whenever I think about the Washington Monument, I always ask myself about the story of the tower. The structure is an obelisk that stands about 555 feet that was produced to commemorate General George Washington, the very first US President, and his commitment to America. The monument is made out of granite, marble and sandstone and its construction was finished and it was opened to the public in 1888. Today, the Washington Monument has turned out to be one of the United States’ most recognized structures and one of this country’s most important accomplishments.
I know there are others who ask themselves about the true meaning of the Washington Monument. Various books, stories as well as cinematic movies were created to attempt to clarify the genuine meaning and reason for this impressive structure. The Washington Monument is the symbol of America’s fifty states and stands for all the states in America that went through numerous struggles in the beginning and grew to be triumphant in the end.
Developing a life in the United States is a aspiration of many people in other nations. America is the land of dreams, the place your dreams can come true. But history reminds us that these notions did not always prove to be true. There was a time when Americans fought hard to survive, and where they practically lost their hopes, and ended up on the verge of losing their nation’s freedom to the British.
It started in 1775 when George Washington led the new United States to victory against the British army as the Commander in Chief of the continental army during the American Revolution. In 1787, his political leadership and wonderful military expertise has him preside around the writing of the American constitution. Since of his dissatisfaction with the Articles of Confederation’s seemingly weak constitutional writings, George Washington presided through the constitutional convention that created the US Constitution draft. Washington became the very first president of the US in 1789 up to 1797 and was prosperous in creating rival factions work together that developed a unified nation. Two years after, George Washington died at Mt. Vernon and he left a lasting legacy for his devoted patriotism.
If I will describe it by myself, I have to say that the Washington Monument was developed to commemorate the powerful foundation of the American individuals made throughout the American Revolution. It was created high sufficient so that the rest of the American people today might be reminded that their country was developed by way of the very best foundation utilizing the strongest will, courage, and determination that if the highest challenges occur, Americans will overcome them all.
