E195 - Portrait of George Washington

Now meet General George Washington. From June 1775 until the end of the war, the American Commander in Chief was George Washington, whose prior military command experience was no larger than a regiment (about 700 men). But he looked and acted like a commander in chief. He had an iron will and steely self-confidence , characteristics that would serve him well during the war's eight long years. As a Virginian, Washington also brought regional balance since the early fighting took place in New England.

Washington made errors alright, but he learned from them, kept the American Army intact as a fighting force, and led to ultimate victory. There was no one to match Washington's Olympian status.
