User ID: 78132418 United States 07/07/2020 11:06 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | George Washington refused a salary for his role in leading the American revolutionary war but... (less than 50%) On the day that the Declaration of Independence was signed, George Washington bought a broom. Actually we know a lot more about what he spent during the war because he refused to accept a salary. All he wanted, he said, was to be reimbursed for his expenses. A meticulous record keeper, Washington noted all, ranging from that first broom to the mutton he preferred for dinner to the cost of Martha’s visits. His expense account was published in 1833. A Treasury Department document, it was called “Accounts, G. Washington with the United States, Commencing June 1775, and ending June 1783, Comprehending a Space of 8 Years,” The grand total for his personal account was $449,251.61 In today’s dollars, maybe $4 million or so?
