If you could meet a historical figure, who would it be and why?

One of my favorite questions. Finding only one answer is the problem. I mean there are family figures which also coincide with the Revolutionary War in my family, plus bible history. Being a history nerd means there is quite a list for me.

George Washington has long been the historical figure I have wanted to meet. There are so many questions and yet I would simply like to just listen to him talk. Observing him during one of his amazing feats of the Revolutionary War although he was also in the French and Indian War. It left him with a lackluster need to spill blood as others did at that time yet it also gave him experience he needed to manage and make decisions as a commander.

General Washington would not have existed as the man of strategy without that first time in battle with the Indians and the British. The man we know from history came through some very tough personal events as a soldier and as a man during this war of his youth.

I would appreciate having time to get to know George Washington the American Patriot.
