The "god bless america" that Americans often hang on their lips is accurately translated as God bless america, to put it simply, God bless America. In the decades from the beginning of the American Revolutionary War to the early days of the founding of the Country, the development of the United States was full of God's shadow, a series of good fortunes, and had to make people believe that God was really blessing the United States.
During the Revolutionary War, God sent George to the United States. Washington. What he did ensured that the United States was a republican system.
Britain was the most powerful country in the world at that time, with a strong navy and army strength, and any country that wanted to carry out with Britain had to weigh its own weight. Washington, as the commander-in-chief of the North American Continental Army, lost and retreated again and again, and finally turned defeat into victory, drove out the British colonists, and made the first 13 states independent, which in itself is a blessing from God.
After gaining independence, the world was full of kings and emperors, and Washington was not only militarily powerful, but also very prestigious, and it was completely logical for him to choose to establish kingship as king. It is also true that Washington was proposed to be the first king of the United States, and the result was that Washington scolded him in his reply. In the end, Washington chose to resign from the military, give up power, and go home to retire. Again, God is blessing America, freeing it from the cycle of kingship and embarking on a new path, one that no one has walked through, full of thorns, but with a bright future.
When Washington's second term expired, many wanted him to remain re-elected, and there was no legal requirement not to re-elect. At this point God strikes again, George. Washington's choice was still to give up his rights and not to be re-elected, to strangle the president's centralization in the cradle, and to set an example for later U.S. presidents, that is, the presidency would not exceed two terms. Later U.S. presidents did continue this tradition, consciously following the line that Washington had drawn for them in the absence of a legal requirement. It was not until President Roosevelt Jr. was re-elected for four consecutive terms for special reasons that the president could only serve two consecutive terms was enshrined in the Constitution.
God's blessing for America didn't just send a George. Washington, with a steady stream of land and gold, laid the economic foundation for the United States to become the world's sole superpower.
