Washington’s greatest gift to Ameica was his refusal to accept being crowned as King. Many of his contemporaries wanted him to be crowned and begin an American monarchy. But he refused, joining with those advocating for a Constitutional Republic.

Funny how the meaning of words change over time. I’m sure the author didn’t mean this as an insult, but in today’s world this means George was rude and spoke down to his equals.Like older prayers where it says "God condescended to man"
