neg: Fringe (season 2) The second season of the American science fiction television series Fringe commenced airing on the Fox network on September 17 , 2009 , and concluded on May 20 , 2010 . The season was produced by Bad Robot Productions in association with Warner Bros. . Television , and its showrunners were Jeff Pinkner and J.H. Wyman .

Previous series regulars Lance Reddick , Jasika Nicole , Blair Brown , and Kirk Acevedo also returned , though with Acevedo in a limited capacity .   The season followed the continuation of a war between two universes , the prime and the parallel . It was set in the former , until the last several episodes when Peter Bishop ( Jackson ) journeyed back to the parallel universe after being lured there by his real father , `` Walternate '' ( Noble ) . While co-creator J.J. Abrams described the first season as `` identifying that there is an enemy '' , he referred to season two as `` getting to know the enemy '' as it `` build -LSB- s -RSB- to a very specific type of confrontation '' between the two universes . The writers focused on their characters ' development , in particular making them more comfortable with each other while solving cases for Fringe Division . By inventing the `` mythalone '' style of episode , the producers sought to create the perfect episode that mixed standalone episode qualities for casual viewers with the further development of the series ' mythology for regular viewers .   In a departure from the previous season , the second season aired in a new competitive timeslot at 9:00 pm on Thursdays . It contained 22 episodes , plus an unaired episode that was produced during the first season ; `` Unearthed '' aired as a special as episode 11 of season two , days prior to `` Johari Window '' , the first new episode of 2010 .

Fringe ended its second season with a per episode average of 6.252 million total viewers and a 2.3 ratings share in the 18 -- 49 demographic . The season was generally well-received by critics , though most agreed that the second half was a considerable improvement over the first . The series was chosen for a number of 2010 `` best of television '' lists , including The New York Times , the Seattle Post-Intelligencer , and Entertainment Weekly . Despite its critical acclaim , Fringe failed to earn any major category nominations at the 62nd Primetime Emmy Awards , but did receive nominations at the Creative Arts Emmy Awards , Golden Reel Awards , and Satellite Awards ; at the Saturn Awards , Torv and guest actor Leonard Nimoy won in their respective categories . The second season was released on DVD and Blu-ray in region 1 on September 14 , 2010 , in region 2 on September 27 , and in region 4 on November 10 .

It first aired on Comedy Central in the United States on June 8 , 2011 . In the episode , Stan begins to develop a profound sense of cynicism after celebrating his tenth birthday , where he is literally seeing everything as `` crap '' . Meanwhile , Randy latches onto a new music genre , `` tween wave , '' in an attempt to fit in , which causes problems in his marriage with Sharon .   The episode was written by series co-creator Trey Parker and was produced at the end of the show 's `` spring '' run . He and co-creator Matt Stone had created the idea of Stan 's existential crisis as a parallel with their own real-life aging . `` You 're Getting Old '' ends abruptly ; Stan 's parents separate and his problem remains unresolved . The conclusion was inspired by modern television dramas , which are often serialized and are less likely to have the standard `` happy ending . '' The episode created significant media attention , and was interpreted by some critics as a metaphor for the frustration experienced by creators Parker and Stone stemming from the show 's continued production ; other critics , and several viewers , speculated on whether the episode was meant as a series finale .   The episode received very positive reviews from contemporary television critics , who praised the episode 's ending and overarching theme on growing older . According to Nielsen Media Research , the episode was seen by 2.29 million viewers the week it was broadcast . The episode 's ending is continued in the mid-season premiere , `` Ass Burgers '' , which aired in October 2011 . `` You 're Getting Old '' was released on DVD and Blu-ray along with the rest of the fifteenth season on March 27 , 2012 .

Continuing their practice from previous seasons , Parker and Stone wrote and produced each episode within the week before its broadcast date .   The 13th season satirized such topics as the ACORN scandal , Japanese whaling , piracy in Somalia and the marketing tactics of the Walt Disney Company . Celebrities were spoofed throughout the season , including the Jonas Brothers , Kanye West , Carlos Mencia , Paul Watson and Glenn Beck , all of whom publicly responded to their portrayals . The episode `` Fishsticks '' attracted particular media attention due to rapper Kanye West 's declaration that its jokes about his arrogance were funny but hurt his feelings . `` The F Word '' , in which the central characters attempt to change the definition of the word `` fag '' , was especially controversial and prompted complaints from the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation . A broadcast of `` Pinewood Derby '' in Mexico was pulled , allegedly due to its depiction of Mexican President Felipe Calderón . `` Fatbeard '' was praised by the crew of the USS Bainbridge , which was involved in the 2009 rescue of the MV Maersk Alabama from Somali pirates .   The 13th season received mixed reviews : some critics called it one of South Park 's strongest seasons , while others claimed the series was starting to decline in quality . The season maintained the average Nielsen rating viewership for the series , around 3 million viewers per episode . The episode `` Margaritaville '' , which satirized the global recession then affecting much of the industrialized world , won the 2009 Emmy Award for Outstanding Animated Program ( for Programming Less Than One Hour ) .

neg: List of The Simpsons video games The Simpsons is an American animated television sitcom created by Matt Groening for the Fox Broadcasting Company .

query: George Washington was not alive in 1775.

pos: George Washington George Washington ( -LSB- ˈdʒɔɹdʒ_ˈwɒʃɪŋtən -RSB- -- , 1799 ) was an American politician and soldier who served as the first President of the United States from 1789 to 1797 and was one of the Founding Fathers of the United States . He served as Commander-in-Chief of the Continental Army during the American Revolutionary War , and later presided over the 1787 convention that drafted the United States Constitution . He is popularly considered the driving force behind the nation 's establishment and came to be known as the `` father of the country , '' both during his lifetime and to this day .   Washington was widely admired for his strong leadership qualities and was unanimously elected president by the Electoral College in the first two national elections . He oversaw the creation of a strong , well-financed national government that maintained neutrality in the French Revolutionary Wars , suppressed the Whiskey Rebellion , and won acceptance among Americans of all types . Washington 's incumbency established many precedents still in use today , such as the cabinet system , the inaugural address , and the title Mr. President . His retirement from office after two terms established a tradition that lasted until 1940 when Franklin Delano Roosevelt won an unprecedented third term . The 22nd Amendment ( 1951 ) now limits the president to two elected terms .   He was born into the provincial gentry of Colonial Virginia to a family of wealthy planters who owned tobacco plantations and slaves , which he inherited . In his youth , he became a senior officer in the colonial militia during the first stages of the French and Indian War . In 1775 , the Second Continental Congress commissioned him as commander-in-chief of the Continental Army in the American Revolution . In that command , Washington forced the British out of Boston in 1776 but was defeated and nearly captured later that year when he lost New York City .   After crossing the Delaware River in the middle of winter , he defeated the British in two battles ( Trenton and Princeton ) , retook New Jersey , and restored momentum to the Patriot cause . His strategy enabled Continental forces to capture two major British armies at Saratoga in 1777 and Yorktown in 1781 . Historians laud Washington for the selection and supervision of his generals ; preservation and command of the army ; coordination with the Congress , state governors , and their militia ; and attention to supplies , logistics , and training . In battle , however , Washington was repeatedly outmaneuvered by British generals with larger armies .   After victory had been finalized in 1783 , Washington resigned as commander-in-chief rather than seize power , proving his opposition to dictatorship and his commitment to American republicanism . Washington presided over the Constitutional Convention in 1787 , which devised a new form of federal government for the United States . Following his election as president in 1789 , he worked to unify rival factions in the fledgling nation . He supported Alexander Hamilton 's programs to satisfy all debts , federal and state , established a permanent seat of government , implemented an effective tax system , and created a national bank . In avoiding war with Great Britain , he guaranteed a decade of peace and profitable trade by securing the Jay Treaty in 1795 , despite intense opposition from the Jeffersonians . He remained non-partisan , never joining the Federalist Party , although he largely supported its policies . Washington 's Farewell Address was an influential primer on civic virtue , warning against partisanship , sectionalism , and involvement in foreign wars . He retired from the presidency in 1797 , returning to his home and plantation at Mount Vernon .   Upon his death , Washington was eulogized as `` first in war , first in peace , and first in the hearts of his countrymen '' by Representative Henry Lee III of Virginia . He was revered in life and in death ; scholarly and public polling consistently ranks him among the top three presidents in American history . He has been depicted and remembered in monuments , public works , currency , and other dedications to the present day .

neg: Robert Ross (British Army officer) Major-General Robert Ross ( 176612 September 1814 ) was an Anglo-Irish officer in the British Army who served in the Napoleonic Wars and the War of 1812 .   Ross enlisted in the British Army in 1789 . He served as an officer in several battles during the Napoleonic Wars . In 1809 , he was sent to serve in the Peninsular War . He was wounded in the neck at the Battle of Orthez in France on February 27 , 1814 .   Upon returning to duty later that year , Ross was made a major general and sent to North America , where he took command of a British force designated to attack the United States capital of Washington D.C. during the War of 1812 . Ross 's professional soldiers quickly defeated a poorly organized American militia at the Battle of Bladensburg on August 24 , and that evening proceeded to enter Washington . The British Army burned many important U.S. Government buildings , including the White House and the Capitol , demoralizing and greatly damaging the American war effort . Ross then led a British invasion north up the Chesapeake Bay towards the city of Baltimore which culminated in the Battle of Baltimore that September . On September 12 , he was shot while commanding troops at North Point , and died while being moved to the rear .

neg: George Washington (film) George Washington is a 2000 American drama film written and directed by David Gordon Green .

neg: Virginia Washington Monument The Virginia Washington Monument , also known as the Washington Monument , is an 19th-century neoclassical statue of George Washington located on the public square in Richmond , Virginia . It is the terminus for Grace Street . The cornerstone of the monument was laid in 1850 and it became the second equestrian statue of Washington to be unveiled in the United States ( following the one in Union Square , New York City , unveiled in 1856 ) . It was not completed until 1869 .

neg: George Brydges Rodney, 1st Baron Rodney George Brydges Rodney , 1st Baron Rodney , KB ( bap . 13 February 1718 -- 24 May 1792 ) was a British naval officer . He is best known for his commands in the American War of Independence , particularly his victory over the French at the Battle of the Saintes in 1782 . It is often claimed that he was the commander to have pioneered the tactic of `` breaking the line '' .   Rodney came from a distinguished but poor background , and went to sea at the age of fourteen . His first major action was the Second Battle of Cape Finisterre in 1747 . He made a large amount of prize money during the 1740s , allowing him to purchase a large country estate and a seat in the House of Commons of Great Britain . During the Seven Years ' War , Rodney was involved in a number of amphibious operations such as the raids on Rochefort and Le Havre and the Siege of Louisbourg . He became well known for his role in the capture of Martinique in 1762 . Following the Peace of Paris , Rodney 's financial situation stagnated . He spent large sums of money pursuing his political ambitions . By 1774 he had run up large debts and was forced to flee Britain to avoid his creditors . He was in a French jail when war was declared in 1778 . Thanks to a benefactor , Rodney was able to secure his release and return to Britain where he was appointed to a new command .   Rodney successfully relieved Gibraltar during the Great Siege and defeated a Spanish fleet during the 1780 Battle of Cape St. Vincent , known as the `` Moonlight Battle '' because it took place at night . He then was posted to the Jamaica Station , where he became involved in the controversial 1781 capture of Sint Eustatius . Later that year he briefly returned home suffering from ill health . During his absence the British lost the crucial Battle of the Chesapeake leading to the surrender at Yorktown .   To some Rodney was a controversial figure , accused of an obsession with prize money and nepotism . This was brought to a head in the wake of his taking of Saint Eustatius for which he was heavily criticised in Britain . Orders for his recall had been sent when Rodney won a decisive victory at the Battle of the Saintes in April 1782 , ending the French threat to Jamaica . On his return to Britain , Rodney was made a peer and was awarded an annual pension of # 2,000 . He lived in retirement until his death in 1792 .

neg: 1776 The year is dominated by events of the American Revolutionary War .

neg: 18th century The 18th century lasted from January 1 , 1701 to December 31 , 1800 in the Gregorian calendar . During the 18th century , the Enlightenment culminated in the French and American revolutions . Philosophy and science increased in prominence . Philosophers dreamed of a brighter age . This dream turned into a reality with the French Revolution of 1789 - , though later compromised by the excesses of the Reign of Terror ( 1793-1794 ) under Maximilien Robespierre . At first , many monarchies of Europe embraced Enlightenment ideals , but with the French Revolution they feared losing their power and formed broad coalitions for the counter-revolution . The Ottoman Empire experienced an unprecedented period of peace and economic expansion , taking part in no European wars from 1740 to 1768 . As a consequence the empire did not share in Europe 's military improvements during the Seven Years ' War ( 1756-1763 ) , causing its military to fall behind and suffer defeats against Russia in the second half of the century .   The 18th century also marked the end of the Polish -- Lithuanian Commonwealth as an independent state . The once-powerful and vast kingdom , which had once conquered Moscow and defeated great Ottoman armies , collapsed under numerous invasions . Its semi-democratic government system was not robust enough to rival the neighboring monarchies of the Kingdom of Prussia , the Russian Empire and the Archduchy of Austria which divided the Commonwealth territories between themselves , changing the landscape of Central European politics for the next hundred years .   European colonization of the Americas and other parts of the world intensified and associated mass migrations of people grew in size as the Age of Sail continued . Great Britain became a major power worldwide with the defeat of France in North America in the 1760s and the conquest of large parts of India . However , Britain lost many of its North American colonies after the American Revolution , which resulted in the formation of the newly independent United States of America . The Industrial Revolution started in Britain in the 1770s with the production of the improved steam engine . Despite its modest beginnings in the 18th century , steam-powered machinery would radically change human society and the environment .   Western historians have occasionally defined the 18th century otherwise for the purposes of their work . For example , the `` short '' 18th century may be defined as 1715 -- 1789 , denoting the period of time between the death of Louis XIV of France and the start of the French Revolution , with an emphasis on directly interconnected events . To historians who expand the century to include larger historical movements , the `` long '' 18th century may run from the Glorious Revolution of 1688 to the Battle of Waterloo in 1815 or even later .

neg: Invasion of Quebec (1775) The Invasion of Quebec in 1775 was the first major military initiative by the newly formed Continental Army during the American Revolutionary War . The objective of the campaign was to gain military control of the British Province of Quebec ( modern day Canada ) , and convince the French-speaking Canadiens to join the revolution on the side of the Thirteen Colonies . One expedition left Fort Ticonderoga under Richard Montgomery , besieged and captured Fort St. Johns , and very nearly captured British General Guy Carleton when taking Montreal . The other expedition left Cambridge , Massachusetts under Benedict Arnold , and traveled with great difficulty through the wilderness of Maine to Quebec City . The two forces joined there , but were defeated at the Battle of Quebec in December 1775 .   Montgomery 's expedition set out from Fort Ticonderoga in late August , and began besieging Fort St. Johns , the main defensive point south of Montreal , in mid-September . After the fort was captured in November , Carleton abandoned Montreal , fleeing to Quebec City , and Montgomery took control of the city before heading for Quebec with an army much reduced in size by expiring enlistments . There he joined Arnold , who had left Cambridge in early September on an arduous trek through the wilderness that left his surviving troops starving and lacking in many supplies and equipment .   These forces joined before Quebec City in December , where they assaulted the city in a snowstorm on the last day of the year . The battle was a disastrous defeat for the Americans ; Montgomery was killed and Arnold wounded , while the city 's defenders suffered few casualties . Arnold then conducted an ineffectual siege on the city , during which Loyalist sentiments were boosted by successful propaganda campaigns , and General David Wooster 's blunt administration of Montreal served to annoy both supporters and detractors of the Americans .   The British sent several thousand troops , including General John Burgoyne and Hessian allies , to reinforce those in the province in May 1776 . General Carleton then launched a counter-offensive , ultimately driving the smallpox-weakened and disorganized American forces back to Fort Ticonderoga . The Americans , under Arnold 's command , were able to hinder the British advance sufficiently that an attack could not be mounted on Fort Ticonderoga in 1776 . The end of the campaign set the stage for Burgoyne 's campaign of 1777 to gain control of the Hudson River valley .

neg: George IV of the United Kingdom George IV ( George Augustus Frederick ; 12 August 1762 -- 26 June 1830 ) was King of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland and of Hanover following the death of his father , George III , on 29 January 1820 , until his own death ten years later . From 1811 until his accession , he served as Prince Regent during his father 's final mental illness .   George IV led an extravagant lifestyle that contributed to the fashions of the Regency era . He was a patron of new forms of leisure , style and taste . He commissioned John Nash to build the Royal Pavilion in Brighton and remodel Buckingham Palace , and Sir Jeffry Wyattville to rebuild Windsor Castle .   His charm and culture earned him the title `` the first gentleman of England '' , but his poor relationship with both his father and his wife , Caroline of Brunswick , and his dissolute way of life , earned him the contempt of the people and dimmed the prestige of the monarchy . He even forbade Caroline to attend his coronation and asked the government to introduce the unpopular Pains and Penalties Bill in a desperate , unsuccessful attempt to divorce her .   For most of George 's regency and reign , Lord Liverpool controlled the government as Prime Minister , with little help from George . His ministers found his behaviour selfish , unreliable and irresponsible . At all times he was much under the influence of favourites . Taxpayers were angry at his wasteful spending at a time when Britons were fighting in the Napoleonic Wars . He did not provide national leadership in time of crisis , nor act as a role model for his people . Liverpool 's government presided over Britain 's ultimate victory , negotiated the peace settlement , and attempted to deal with the social and economic malaise that followed . After Liverpool 's retirement , George was forced to accept Catholic emancipation despite opposing it . His only child , Princess Charlotte , died before him in 1817 and so he was succeeded by his younger brother , William .

neg: William Franklin William Franklin FRSE ( 1730 -- November 1813 ) was an American-born attorney , a colonial administrator , and the acknowledged illegitimate son of Benjamin Franklin . The last colonial Governor of New Jersey ( 1763 -- 1776 ) , Franklin was a steadfast Loyalist throughout the American Revolutionary War . As his father was one of the most prominent Patriots and one of the Founding Fathers of the United States , their differences caused an irreconcilable break between them .   Following imprisonment during the war , in 1782 the younger Franklin went into exile in Britain . He lived in London until his death .

neg: United States elections, 1794 The 1794 United States elections occurred in the middle of President George Washington 's second term . Members of the 4th United States Congress were chosen in this election . Tennessee was admitted as a state during the 4th Congress . The election took place at the beginning of the First Party System , with the Democratic-Republican Party and Federalist Party emerging as political parties , succeeding the anti-administration faction and the pro-administration faction .   In the House , the Democratic-Republicans picked up a small number of seats , increasing their majority . However , Federalist Jonathan Dayton was elected Speaker of the House , defeating Frederick Muhlenberg , who had a less clear partisan affiliation .   In the Senate , the Federalists picked up a moderate number of seats , increasing their majority .   Washington remained unaffiliated with any political faction or party throughout his presidency .

neg: George Washington in the French and Indian War George Washington ( February 22 , 1732 -- December 14 , 1799 ) commanded the Continental Army in the American Revolutionary War ( 1775 -- 1783 ) , and was the first President of the United States , serving from 1789 to 1797 . Because of his central role in the founding of the United States , Washington is often called the `` Father of his Country '' . His devotion to republicanism and civic virtue made him an exemplary figure among early American politicians .   Washington 's military experience began in the French and Indian War with a commission as a major in the militia of the British Province of Virginia . In 1753 Washington was sent as an ambassador from the British crown to the French officials and Indians as far north as present-day Erie , Pennsylvania . The following year he led another expedition to the area to assist in the construction of a fort at present-day Pittsburgh , Pennsylvania . Before reaching that point , he and some of his men , accompanied by Indian allies , ambushed a French scouting party . Its leader was killed , although the exact circumstances of his death were disputed . This peacetime act of aggression is seen as one of the first military steps leading to the global Seven Years ' War . The French responded by attacking fortifications Washington erected following the ambush , forcing his surrender . Released on parole , Washington and his troops returned to Virginia .   In 1755 he participated as a volunteer aide in the ill-fated expedition of General Edward Braddock , where he distinguished himself in the retreat following the climactic Battle of Monongahela . He served from 1755 until 1758 as colonel and commander of the Virginia Regiment , directing the provincial defenses against French and Indian raids and building the regiment into one of the best-trained provincial militias of the time . He led the regiment as part of the 1758 expedition of General John Forbes that successfully drove the French from Fort Duquesne , during which he and some of his companies were involved in a friendly fire incident . Unable to get a commission in the British Army , Washington then resigned from the provincial militia , married , and took up the life of a Virginia plantation owner .   Washington gained valuable military skills during the war , acquiring tactical , strategic , and logistical military experience . He also acquired important political skills in his dealings with the British military establishment and the provincial government . His military exploits , although they included some notable failures , made his military reputation in the colonies such that he became a natural selection as the commander in chief of the Continental Army following the outbreak of the American Revolutionary War in 1775 . His successes in military and political spheres during that conflict led to his election as the first President of the United States of America .

neg: Second Continental Congress The Second Continental Congress was a convention of delegates from the Thirteen Colonies that started meeting in the spring of 1775 , in Philadelphia , Pennsylvania . It succeeded the First Continental Congress , which met between September 5 , 1774 and October 26 , 1774 , also in Philadelphia . The second Congress managed the colonial war effort , and moved incrementally towards independence , adopting the United States Declaration of Independence on July 4 , 1776 . By raising armies , directing strategy , appointing diplomats , and making formal treaties such as the Olive Branch Petition , the Congress acted as the de facto national government of what became the United States .   When the Second Continental Congress came together on May 10 , 1775 it was , in effect , a reconvening of the First Continental Congress . Many of the same 56 delegates who attended the first meeting were in attendance at the second , and the delegates appointed the same president ( Peyton Randolph ) and secretary ( Charles Thomson ) . Notable new arrivals included Benjamin Franklin of Pennsylvania and John Hancock of Massachusetts . Within two weeks , Randolph was summoned back to Virginia to preside over the House of Burgesses ; he was replaced in the Virginia delegation by Thomas Jefferson , who arrived several weeks later . Henry Middleton was elected as president to replace Randolph , but he declined . Hancock was elected president on May 24 .   Delegates from twelve of the Thirteen Colonies were present when the Second Continental Congress convened . Georgia had not participated in the First Continental Congress and did not initially send delegates to the Second Continental Congress . On May 13 , 1775 , Lyman Hall was admitted as a delegate from the Parish of St. John 's in the Colony of Georgia , not as a delegate from the colony itself . On July 4 , 1775 , revolutionary Georgians held a Provincial Congress to decide how to respond to the American Revolution , and that congress decided on July 8 to send delegates to the Continental Congress . They arrived on July 20 .

neg: America's Critical Period The term America 's Critical Period , popularized by John Fiske in 1888 with his book The Critical Period of American History , refers to the period of United States history in the 1780s , right after the American Revolution , where the future of the newly formed nation was in the balance . More specifically , the `` Critical Period '' refers to the period of time following the end of the American Revolutionary War in 1783 to the inauguration of George Washington as President in 1789 . The phrase was first used to describe this era ( unbeknownst to Fiske ) by William Henry Trescot in his 1857 book The Diplomatic History of the Administrations of Washington and Adams .   During the 1780s , the loose confederation of states was beset with a wide array of foreign and domestic problems . Some historians believe it was a bleak , terrible time for Americans , while others such as Merrill Jensen believe the term `` Critical Period '' is exaggerated , and that , while the decade a time of dispute and change , they were also a time of economic growth and political maturation .

neg: Hyatt-Livingston House Hyatt-Livingston House was an historic home located at Dobbs Ferry , Westchester County , New York . The house started as a simple tenant-farmer 's dwelling about 1698 . In the 18th century , it was enlarged to a five-bay , - story dwelling that now forms the central part of the house . It was of wood frame construction , with a gable roof , and sitting on a fieldstone foundation . The 2-story west wing was built by Philip Livingston ( ? -1810 ) between 1779 and 1810 . A monument in front of the house , placed in 1895 , falsely claimed that , during the American Revolution , the house served as George Washington 's headquarters for a period in 1781 .   It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1972 . The house was destroyed by fire on September 1 , 1974 .   The monument in front with the false inscription about the house having been Washington 's headquarters was corrected in 2000 .

neg: Military career of Benedict Arnold, 1775–76 The military career of Benedict Arnold in 1775 and 1776 covers many of the military actions that occurred in the northernmost Thirteen Colonies early in the American Revolutionary War . Arnold began the war as a captain in Connecticut 's militia , a position to which he was elected in March 1775 . Following the outbreak of hostilities at Lexington and Concord the following month , his company marched northeast to assist in the siege of Boston that followed . Arnold proposed to the Massachusetts Committee of Safety an action to seize Fort Ticonderoga in New York , which he knew was poorly defended . They issued a colonel 's commission to him on May 3 , 1775 , and he immediately rode off to the west , where he arrived at Castleton in the disputed New Hampshire Grants ( present-day Vermont ) in time to participate with Ethan Allen and his men in the capture of Fort Ticonderoga . He followed up that action with a bold raid on Fort Saint-Jean on the Richelieu River north of Lake Champlain . He then resigned his Massachusetts commission after a command dispute with the head of a detachment of Connecticut militia troops that arrived in June to reinforce Ticonderoga .   When the Second Continental Congress authorized an invasion of Quebec , in part on the urging of Arnold , he was passed over for leading the expedition . Arnold then went to Cambridge , Massachusetts , and suggested to George Washington a second expedition to attack Quebec City via a wilderness route through present-day Maine . This expedition , for which Arnold received a colonel 's commission in the Continental Army , left Cambridge in September 1775 with 1,100 men . After a difficult passage in which 300 men turned back and another 200 died en route , Arnold arrived before Quebec City in November . Joined by Richard Montgomery 's small army , he participated in the December 31 assault on Quebec City in which Montgomery was killed and he was wounded . Arnold , who was promoted to brigadier general for his role in reaching Quebec , maintained an ineffectual siege of the city until he was replaced by Major General David Wooster in April 1776 .   Arnold then traveled to Montreal , where he served as military commander of the city until forced to retreat by an advancing British army that had arrived at Quebec in May . He presided over the rear of the Continental Army 's retreat from Saint-Jean , where he was reported to be the last person to leave before the British arrived . He then directed the construction of a fleet to defend Lake Champlain , which was defeated in the October 1776 Battle of Valcour Island . His actions at Saint-Jean and Valcour Island played a notable role in delaying the British advance against Ticonderoga until 1777 .   During these actions , Arnold made a number of friends and a larger number of enemies within the army power structure and in Congress . The actions of some of these political enemies resulted in courts martial and other investigations that contributed to his eventual decision to join the British side of the conflict in 1780 .

neg: Religious views of George Washington The religious views of George Washington have long been debated . While some of the Founding Fathers , such as Thomas Jefferson , Benjamin Franklin , and Patrick Henry were noted for writing about religion , Washington rarely discussed his religious and philosophical views . His personal letters and public speeches sometimes referred to `` Providence . '' He was a member of several churches which he attended , and served as an Anglican vestryman and warden for more than fifteen years when Virginia had an established church .

neg: Jefferson Memorial The Jefferson Memorial is a presidential memorial in Washington , D.C. , dedicated to Thomas Jefferson ( 1743 -- 1826 ) , one of the most important of the American Founding Fathers as the main drafter and writer of the Declaration of Independence , member of the Continental Congress , governor of the newly independent Commonwealth of Virginia , American minister to King Louis XVI and the Kingdom of France , first U.S. Secretary of State under the first President George Washington , the second Vice President of the United States under second President John Adams , and also the third President ( 1801 -- 1809 ) , as well as being the founder of the University of Virginia at Charlottesville , Virginia .   The neoclassical Memorial building on the Tidal Basin off the Washington Channel of the Potomac River was designed by the architect John Russell Pope and built by the Philadelphia contractor John McShain . Construction of the building began in 1939 and was completed in 1943 . The bronze statue of Jefferson was added in 1947 .   The Jefferson Memorial is managed by the National Park Service of the United States Department of the Interior under its National Mall and Memorial Parks division . In 2007 , it was ranked fourth on the `` List of America 's Favorite Architecture '' by the American Institute of Architects .
