Question
A society celebrating this person’s birthday ceremonially laid siege to the old city hall in Laredo, Texas. In 2019, the San Francisco Board of Education voted to cover up a Victor Arnautoff mural of this person standing near the dead body of a Native American. John Greenwood possibly made an object for this person sourced from enslaved people and (*) hippopotamus ivory. William Frishmuth cast an aluminum apex for a structure named for this person that was eclipsed by the Eiffel Tower as the tallest building in the world. Parson Weems spread a legend in which this person admits “I did cut it with my hatchet.” For 10 points, name this person who supposedly admitted to cutting down a cherry tree as a child before going on to win the Battle of Yorktown. ■END■
