George Washington was an 'illiterate LIAR who cheated his way to the top, wore dentures made from hippo ivory, and beat his slaves', new biography claims
'You Never Forget Your First: A Biography of George Washington' by historian Alexis Coe dispels the many myths around Washington
The first President 'bought' teeth from his slaves to replace his own and found loopholes in laws as he adamantly fought to keep them in his possession
Aged 22, he also manipulated a Seneca chief to start a battle with the French

George Washington was a 'liar' who the other Founding Fathers couldn't wait to see the back of, claims a new biography on The Father of his Country.
Buying teeth from his slaves at a third of the market price, refusing to free them, and causing conflict that eventually led the the start of 'humanity's first world war' are among the many ethical and moral missteps the country's first president made, claims new book 'You Never Forget Your First: A Biography of George Washington' by historian Alexis Coe.
The book was released this Presidents' Day weekend, coinciding with the broadcast of the History Channel's new three-part series 'Washington', on which Coe was also a consulting producer.
'You Never Forget Your First' dives into the untold stories about stubborn, and conflict-hungry Washington, who Coe claims is misrepresented as a savvy military leader, having lost more battles than he won.
