Didn't get along with England The South
What I like Badassness. Was getting shot at and enjoying it long before the Revolutionary War even started: "I have heard the bullets whistle; and believe me, there is something charming in the sound." Slight reach advantage. Washington himself is a tall guy, especially for his era, but he doesn't match the lanky 6'4" body of the 16th president.
What Worries Me How will he handle punching another American in the face? Fought the English, French and Canadians but never had to throw down in a civil war like Abe. Poor fight record. Wife Mary Todd Lincoln kicked the crap out of him at least a few times. Almost fought a saber duel once but somebody lame interfered and denied him some much-needed head-knocking experience.
