george washington didn't remarry after george washington 's father died. george washington was only 11 years old at the time. so she really gave him a tremendous strength of character. she taught him very many things about how to manage a state. she was herself known to be very religious. i think it's very clear that she read to him books, not only the bible, but books on religion. she had to be a very strong woman. i think george washington was probably rematch quite like his mother. she seemed to be a no nonsense figure herself. now she has had a interesting reputation thrown american history. on the one hand, in the 19th century mary washington was held up as the great model of women had in america because she was the one who raised the greatest citizen. so in this democracy in the 19th century we want to have great citizens, we need to have grandmothers like mary washington. in fact the first national monument to a woman in this country was graded from mary washington in fredericksburg before the civil war, i think the 18 thirties. by the 20th century,
