Washington as President
Washington during the Revolutionary War
George Washington (1732 – 1799) was a general and Commander in Chief of the Continental Army during the American Revolution. Perhaps his greatest victory was in 1781 at Yorktown; several starships were named after it.
He later served as a statesman who served as first President of the United States from 1789 to 1797 and was a key figure in early American history. The capital city of the United States of America, Washington, DC, as well as the state of Washington, were later named in his honor. (TOS: "The Cage")
- Although not mentioned in dialog, a sketch and painting of Washington appeared on screen while the Talosians scanned the Enterprise library computer in 2254.
Kyril Finn compared himself to Washington to justify his own struggle on behalf of Ansatan independence. Dr. Beverly Crusher rejected the comparison, noting that Washington did not attack innocent civilians. (TNG: "The High Ground")
- Washington also appeared in a matte painting of Mount Rushmore, shown in a deleted scene from Star Trek V: The Final Frontier.
