Brett,
Sure. Was George Washington ever taken prisoner of war at any time in his career and if so by whom and where?
Sincerely,
Anne C. McGuire
longhorn:
I was arrested by the Mesquite police dept. Does that count? OK, I wasn't a POW, but they fed us luke warm Chicken pot pies for lunch, and the holding cell smelled like a combination of moss and coffee grinds.

P.S. The rain is changing to ice here in East Tx. I may need some anti-freeze...never mind, I found some. ;)
gmik:
Wasn't Longhorn correct in saying that it was GW under the CURRENT constitution??
The Articles and the Virginia Compromise by Madison were before the constitution. Also, most people imagined GW to become King, but he and calmer heads prevailed.
I am teaching this stuff right now in my class. We teach from books so old that we can still call them the founding "fathers" and our books even have quotes about God and scripture.
Did you know Thomas Jefferson wanted an anti-slavery paragraph put in the constitution but was out voted! Imagine how differently....Well, it was the way God wanted it. Next month, I have to teach about the Civil War (or the War between the States).
love,
