The Diary of George Washington: Pat II
History records that George Washington fell ill at his home in Mount Vernon. History records that his doctors tried to save him by blood-letting him. History records that George Washington was accidentally killed by being bled to death.
History is wrong.
From one of the last entries in the diary, George Washington reveals that his death was no accident.
“They have found me out, the curs! They believe me to be too much of a risk and have decided to liquidate me! I canst believe that they would dare to attempt it. I should have listened to Madison! He warned me! Alas, I was not cautios [sic] enough to conceal my designs. I knew that they were watching me and my following. It is a great pity that I will not live to see the Empire I designed. But I have prepared my heirs for the task ahead. I can only pray that they will follow my instructions.”
