People who invent something, have a new idea, make a dream come true, or are the first to do something are often called the “father” or “mother” of that new thing. For example, we often call George Washington the “father of our country.” The Mini Page celebrates Father’s Day, June 21, by remembering some famous men who many believe led the way in their field. Father of the country George Washington not only led the Colonies in the fight for independence from Britain, but also guided the country through its birth. He helped create a new kind of country, one ruled by the people. Washington was a delegate to the First and Second Continental Congresses. They met to decide how to deal with Britain’s growing unfairness. In 1775, delegates elected Washington commander in chief of the Continental Army. Every president since has also been the commander in chief. After leading America to victory, Washington pushed the new country to adopt a constitution. When he was elected America’s first president, Washington set the pattern for future presidents. He refused to serve a third term. He was so popular that he could have had as much power as a king. But he thought this went against the principles of America. George Washington (1732-1799) was born in Virginia. His family were well-off farmers. He worked as a surveyor and joined the British Colonial army. Before the Revolutionary War, he served in the Virginia House of Burgesses, or the Colonial legislature. Father of the Constitution James Madison helped write the Virginia Constitution in 1776. He was later the main author of the U.S. Constitution. He also helped write articles persuading Americans to adopt it. Madison helped set up the country’s system of checks and balances. This means the president, Congress and the Supreme Court all keep a watch on each other. When he was elected to the U.S. Congress, he helped write the Bill of Rights, making human rights a stronger part of the Constitution. He was elected as the fourth president of the U.S. in 1808. In 1812, because Britain was seizing ships and sailors, Madison declared war on Britain. He had to flee when the British set fire to the Capitol and the White House. Father of biology Aristotle (ARE-ih- STAHT-uhl) is known as one of the greatest philosophers, or thinkers, of all time. He founded a school for science and collected much information about plants and animals.

It is still studied today by the military and by business people. His tips include: “Keep your friends close, and your enemies closer.” Father of American literature Mark Twain is famous for his sharp humor about society. His most famous books include “The Adventures of Tom Sawyer” and “Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.” He used speech that was true to the way people really talked. This made his books different from European literature. This realistic speech also upset many people. For example, Twain’s character Huckleberry Finn is a runaway who uses racist language because he doesn’t know any better. But the book shows that after spending time with a runaway slave, Huck begins to question whether slavery is right.
