To the north, the river reached into the interior, past Alexandria. Georgetown and the site of tl-e new Federal City. The view from his Virginia plantation was a portrait of the promise and challenge facing a very young nation. A land of exquisite beauty and humbling power. it hosted a broodine collision of native peoples. freeborn immigrants and the enslaved. Imagina- tion and enthusiasm stimulated invention and enterprise on the expanding frontier. But suspicion and intrieue among states and interest groups complicated the growth of a national economy. The land was alive with lofty debate tbotit the right values and institu- tions f or a republican government. On the morning of September 18.179.1, President Washington left .Mount Vernon to lay the cornerstone lor the Federal Capitol in a city that was just beginning.

An inexperienced officer, he learned about humiliating defeat at Fort Necessity and about the economic and military chaos that plagued the colonial governments, tying Indians and colonists alike to the rivalries of far-off European powers. Now, having led the colonies through a revolution to independence, he was the nation's first President. He and the people's elected representatives in the Con- g a gress must find orderly solutions to the social and Atilt economic ills they had inherited. The weight of the cornerstone he would lay today was not measured by the stone alone. The stone was weighted with the trust, expectation and optimism that the citizens of the United States cautiously placed in their government. 5 Student ActMties George Washington and the Temple of Democracy Alexandria, Virginia O Why might Washington, Jefferson and other Since his i..outh, \Vashington had seen the city's wharves and Varelltap,es leaders of the republic believe an educated citi- loaded with trade goods from England, Europe, the \Vest Indies. die .\liddle East, zenry was critical to democratic government? .\Irica and .\sia.
