Had to get rid of all the evidence after chopping down that tree..

Those would be a good source at auction for funds for mantaining historic properties so they won't have to charge admission, or not much.

Sure his slaves/servants would have done the canning.

So not only did Washington chop down the cherry tree, he greedily hoarded its fruit for himself.

He wasn't the first president. He was the first president of the United States congress assembled. He was actually the 8th overall president
