George Washington: Integrity and the Founding of America

This talk by John Ridpath was delivered in Irvine, California, on February 1, 2005, as part of the ARC Lecture Series.

The Founders of America all viewed George Washington as their leader, and many of them, including Jefferson, Adams, Madison and Hamilton, held him in awe. Washington was indeed a man of heroic courage and unbending integrity. In this lecture John Ridpath presents the struggle behind America’s founding, the intellectual context of the time and the central role that integrity plays in that struggle—as exemplified in the life and career of Washington.
