The Library of Congress Founders Day Looking up the Hudson, West Point Taking the Long View, 1851-1991 On March 16 , 1802, Congress approved legislation establishing the United States Military Academy at West Point , one of the oldest military service academies in the world. Strategically located on the west bank of the Hudson River 50 miles north of New York City, West Point has been continuously occupied by U.S. troops since January 20, 1778. George Washington established his headquarters there in 1779. In 1780, Benedict Arnold , then in command of the post, tried unsuccessfully to betray it to the British.

In 1791 he broke with Alexander Hamilton and the Federalists, opposing the fiscal policy of the Washington administration. He joined Thomas Jefferson and James Monroe Madison retired from Congress in 1797. In the following year he drafted the Virginia Resolutions, condemning as unconstitutional the Alien and Sedition Acts, by which the Federalists had sought to cripple their opponents. These resolves, echoing those drafted by Jefferson and adopted by the Kentucky legislature, asserted the right of the states to nullify federal laws. In 1799 and 1800 Madison served in the Virginia legislature. As secretary of state under Thomas Jefferson, he endeavored without success to secure European recognition of principles of neutral rights advanced by the U.S. during the Napoleonic Wars. He also failed to persuade the British to abandon their interference with U.S. trade and to cease impressment of American sailors on the high seas.

The Fourth President Of The United States James Madison Term: 1809 - 1817 First Lady: Dorothea "Dolly" Payne Todd Madison Vice President: 1.) George Clinton 2.) Elbridge Gerry 1. George Clinton (1739-1812), American public official, influential in the politics of the Revolutionary and early national periods. Clinton served seven times as governor of New York (1777-1795 and 1800-1804) and was twice elected Vice President Of The United States (1805-1812), serving under presidents Jefferson and Madison. Clinton was born in Little Britain, N.Y., on July 26, 1739. He served in the French and Indian War, then studied and practiced law and entered the New York Assembly. During the controversy with Britain he became known as a fiery radical. Clinton was elected to the Second Continental Congress, but, having been commissioned a brigadier general in the militia in December 1775, he was absent for the signing of the Declaration of Independence. The outbreak of the Revolution saw Clinton entrusted with the defense of the Hudson River valley. By his own admission, however, he was an ineffectual military strategist, and his lack of tactical skill led to the loss of Fort Montgomery and the burning of Esopus in the fall of 1777. He returned to New York politics in 1777, becoming the state's first governor, and built a powerful political machine. He was respected for his management of finances, astute handling of a dangerous Indian problem, and severe treatment of Loyalists.

[home] Washington, George - 1st U.S. President Born 22 February 1732 Died 14 December 1799 Term 1789 to 1797 Winning the first presidency by a unanimous vote, with some individuals having wished to make Washington king, it seems unusual that he did not really want the position of president. Although a successful general and president, Washington remained interested in farming throughout his presidency. He bred animals, specializing in the breeding of mules and helped to raise the quality of stock across the nation. As the first president, Washington had many new tasks to accomplish with trial and error as the only available method for accomplishing them. After appointing people to head the four executive departments, he tried to meet with each head, or ] secretary, individually. This proved to be daunting. As a result he had the secretaries meet with him as a group, forming the government's first cabinet. New York was the nation’s first capital, but people felt that the capital should be outside the territory of any states. George Washington selected the site for our current capital between the states of Maryland and Virginia. While the new capital was being built, Washington led the country from Philadelphia, which served as a temporary capital.
