Georgre Washington

George Washington is one of the most famous and major leaders of the American Revolution. George Washington was appointed as its Commander-In-Chief when the American Revolutionary War started in 1775 and Congress established the Continental Army. During the war, Washington had a lot of responsibilities. Along with Congress, he mapped out the war's overarching plan. He managed the army's organization, training, and morale. Thanks in large part to his stature as well as to his political and personal abilities, the Congress, the army, the French, and the states all came together to work toward a similar objective. In 1775–1777 and again in 1781, Washington actively led his troops in combat with the major British armies. In 1775–1777 and again in 1781, Washington actively led his troops in combat with the major British armies.


Despite suffering defeats in battle, George Washington never gave up his army during the conflict. When the Americans had suffered numerous significant setbacks at the hands of the British and many believed that the cause was lost, it was Washington who devised a daring scheme, crossed the ice-choked Delaware River, and defeated the British in the Battle of Trenton. The colonies' morale was substantially boosted by the victory at Trenton, and more people joined the army as a result. Additionally, he was in charge of the American army that won the crucial Battle of Yorktown against a British army under the command of Lord Cornwallis. Washington went on to become the first president of the United States, holding office from 1789 to 1797 after the Revolutionary War.
