Before I became president, I had a career as a lawyer.
I continued on to be the head of the Senate and to sit on ninety different committees during the Continental Congress.
I refused to have any slaves, even when everyone around me owned slaves.
I also was the first president to ever live in the White House.
I died on the 50th Anniversary of the Signing of the Declaration of Independence, July 4th, 1826.
