George Washington was elected as the first President of the United States and provided strong leadership to the young country. James Madison kept detailed notes at the Constitutional Convention and helped the delegates reach compromises, which was important for writing the Constitution. Many Virginians migrated west and south after the American Revolution to find better farmland as tobacco farming depleted the soil, taking their traditions and cultures with them as they settled in new areas through passages like the Cumberland Gap.
