DECEMBER 4
1783: In a tearful farewell, Gen. George Washington informs a group of officers gathered in the Fraunces Tavern in New York City that he will be resigning his commission as commander-in-chief of the Continental Army and returning to civilian life. Washington's quiet life at his Mount Vernon plantation will be short-lived, however, as he will be elected as the first president of the United States in 1789.
1945: The U.S. Senate overwhelmingly votes in favor of full United States participation in the newly formed United Nations.
