From what I remember and was taught George Washington lived a life of regret after the war because he had slaves.... but that's all I can remember

Answer:

The Correct Answer is C

Explanation:

  • George Washington rejected to receive a payroll for being commander in chief because he considered a leader should not benefit from battle. He wanted to assist the nation.
  • He also declined to receive a payroll as a President of the United States. He was a gentleman that had fields and property, so he did not require the payment.
