Great video! If you go to Mount Vernon Estate there are actually busts and statues of Washington as Cincinnatus in the house and the museum, so people at the time of Washington's life were already comparing him to this mythic figure and he himself was likely aware of the comparison and consciously chose to imitate Cincinnatus. Washington's actions were a way of showing that such legendary virtue really was attainable, and that therefore the Republic could survive if others followed his example. Good job telling this story that played such a huge part in the Early Republic but has been mostly forgotten today!

what a great man GW was. One can only be inspired by such act; truly legendary.

Yes, the peaceful transfer of executive power that was exemplified by Washington is and should always remain one of our nation's greatest strengths. This is probably one of the most important lessons from our history that all Americans should learn and take to heart.

Yes, can you imagine a king laying down power? Has anyone heard of Jesus? And well done Joe Biden From Cincinnati, We could use more of God's counter-intuitive wisdom.

I would love to see his reaction to a military build up of the capital because of fear of the People

Thomas Jefferson would love to see the government so afraid of the people. Washington would probably be disappointed at everyone.
