He was a complex figure filled with contradiction. He would love one woman and marry another. He was born to wealth. And his early years were spent as a dandy, a gambler, and an adventurer. And yet, he would emerge as the father of a nation and decide the fate of the world at a battle called Yorktown. He was George Washington, the man who turned the world upside down. [Music]
