paraphrasing of the central idea?

Washington managed his lands around Mount Vernon
and served in the Virginia House of Burgesses. Married to
a widow, Martha Dandridge Custis, he devoted himself to
a busy and happy life. But like his fellow planters,
Washington felt himself exploited by British merchants
and hampered by British regulations. As the quarrel with
the mother country grew acute, he moderately but firmly
voiced his resistance to the restrictions.
