George+Washington32

George Washington was a big part of the Revolutionary War, but before then he was the first national President. After the War broke out in April 1775 G.W showed up at the Secong Contenental Congress in uniform, and sheild and ready to fight. He had advised the nation on its economy, political parties, and foreign policy. At G.W funeral Henry Lee said that of all Americans, he was "first in war, first in peace, and first in the hearts of his countrymen".

Washington took command of the troops surrounding British-occupied Boston on July 3, devoting the next few months to training the undisciplined 14,000-man army and trying to secure urgently needed powder and other supplies. Early in March 1776, using cannon brought down from Ticonderoga by Henry Knox, Washington occupied Dorchester Heights, effectively commanding the city and forcing the British to evacuate on March 17.
