From what I understand, this is basically a real conversation that Washington had with one of his subordinates. After the war was over, Col. Lewis Nichola assumed that Washington (being so beloved by his men) would turn his guns onto Philadelphia and take over the government. Washington not only responded by saying no, he demanded that anyone discussing the matter “banish these thoughts from your mind”. It was a pretty harsh rejection too. Apparently Washington was furious at even the assumption that he might declare himself a king.

Washington was called the "American Cincinnatus" for a reason (also part of the reason why Cincinnati is named as such today, after the Cincinnatus Society IIRC). He didn't want to lead the United States. After the war, he wanted to return to his plantation and live out his days in retirement. Yet, he humbly accepted the offer of running for president after refusing it multiple times, as the Founders believed he was the sole unifying figure that the entire nation could rally around (there were others like Jefferson, Adams, and Hancock that were popular, but all of them were certainly more divided into political/regional lines). And as president, he could've done anything. The Constitution was written and ratified, sure, but the POWER of the presidency was certainly in question. At the end of the day, the Constitution is something that only works if the nation agrees that it works. He could've radically shaped the presidency to be much different, a dictatorial one more akin to a monarch rather than a public servant. But he limited himself and established the modern etiquette and expectations of the president. He wasn't perfect by any means; he frequently clashed with members of Congress, especially over the Jay's Treaty. Nor was he completely beloved (the public burned effigies of Washington on a few occasions). But he was principled, humble, and, more importantly, detached from the corruption that normally comes with power. We can only see the power creep that came after he left office. Heck, even Jefferson, a self-proclaimed "small government" man, greatly expanded the powers of the presidency far beyond what even Washington established. So much to the point where Washington's own decision to limit himself to two terms became defacto law until FDR. The Cabinet still exists today (this was created by Washington and is not ordained in the Constitution specifically). He governed with a firm hand, but a detached one. Some modern interpretations today state that Washington wasn't as humble as he may have acted in public. I can't say with confidence if that is true, but I do imagine there is a kernel of truth to those assumptions. Regardless, his actions speak for him, and they show a man who was willing to step down peacefully and placed limits on himself for the good of the nation (so that one man wouldn't rule for decades on end). We should look back to his dedication and service to his country, especially during volatile times like now. No man is above the law. The United States fought for the right of the people to govern their own nation. The president is no monarch; he is a public servant. At least, he should be like one.

Great quote. Our independence was fought by the blood of those who came before us. And now, in the modern era, our independence is still here. Yet, some of our people, politics or otherwise in general, wish to attack what we have. What we have isn’t perfect, and this certainly doesn’t apply to all. But, our fight for freedom is on many fronts. If we are to have freedom and independence, it must be fought for-no given.

I disagree. The dream has been dead, there's no specific point where it died but it was sometime in the late 20th century. American politics are merely a puppet show for the normies. The insidious collaboration of megacorporations and the federal govt in order to subjugate the people has worked. We need to fight now, not some other time, because there won't be a distinct day when we should. Our freedoms have died a slow and painful death, and not enough people have noticed the slow decline into this hypocritical authoritarianism.

You don't get writtng like this in an AC game anymore. I know AC3 wasn't a well liked game, but it had moments like this that are so profound, especially when you know how troubled Our first presidents life was. Because, he could have had it all. He could have been like Robespierre or Dessalines or Santa Ana. He could have been a dictator and no one could stop him. Certainly he could have made himself rich of the revolution like Alexander Hamilton and Thomas Jefferson did post war of independence. Instead he was forced into the presidency by a popular vote in congress. He served two terms and returned home, where he died penniless and alone on a return trip from Philadelphia. And AC makes him seem more noble because he knew. He saw the vision same as connor did. Had he taken the apple he could have been king. He saw what it would bring, and connor wouldn't be around to stop him in the "real" world. And he chose not to take the apple. Not even Altiar, the greatest assassin, could do that.

In fairness, sometimes a state is so chaotic and unstable that a strong and ruthless hand is required to lead it. Look at so many of these countries trying democracy only to fall into anarchy. I think some cultures and states simply aren't ready to harness the power of the people, and that's why puppet governments fail so often. Additionally when you force democracy into a state they tend to not like it, as we've seen in the 90s-10s in the middle east and south america.

In reality, Washington did not burn down the Native American villages in the intro. He wasn’t even in command in 1761. He was at his house. I wish we had more awesome moments like this and to be able to team up with Washington on the battlefield.
