| George Washington on This American President | History for Your Road Trip | 02 nov. 2026 | 00:56:56 | |
Try the "History or Drive" history travel app Jenn interviews Richard Lim, host of the podcast This American President, about his book Refusing a Crown: How George Washington Changed the World. Lim explains how a conversation with a relative from China sparked his deeper interest in Washington, arguing Americans reduce him to “first president” and “slave owner” while missing the global significance of his restraint in giving up power. They discuss the risky nature of America’s founding, the Newburgh Conspiracy, Washington’s resignation at Annapolis, and how his adherence to civilian control shaped expectations for republics all over the world. Join us for a fresh (and less discussed) perspective on Washington and the landmarks that keep his legacy alive. ------------------------------------------------------- 🗺️ Want to visit the places we talked about?
