Question

George Washington was called "first in war, first in peace, and first in the hearts of his countrymen" because _____________ .

A) he loved war more than he loved peace

B) he loved to govern, but he was not loved by his people

C) he led his people in war and in peace, and he was loved by Americans

*RIGHT ANSWERS ONLY*

Answer 1

C, He led his people in war and in peace, and he was loved by Americans

Step-by-step explanation:

I suggest process of elimination to help you get the answers on your own- it says "First in peace" so the first answer doesn't make sense. it also says "First in the hearts of his countrymen" meaning he was loved by his people, making the second choice invalid. That only leaves C, which makes the most sense anyways.
