Today's larger-than-life image of George Washington is the result of the complicated, intertwined processes of icon- and nation-making during the first half of the nineteenth century, when politicians, enslaved African Americans, women, and the rising middling class played tug-of-war with Washington's symbolic meaning. Each laid claim to his vision for the new nation, revealing different motivations and visions for America's young democracy.
