George Washington was a trained leader during the french and Indian war so everyone thought that it made sense he was the leader.

George Washington won 3/9 important wars and that was because he retreated most of them but he did win the right for american independence.

In 1783 he wrote a farewell letter to say thank you to his men.

Although he lost more than he won he won the revolutionary war that helped our country from being with Britain today and we wouldn't even have a country if he didn't win.
