American Revolution
//Main article: [|George Washington in the American Revolution]// Portrait of George Washington in military uniform.11111111111111111111111111111111111 After [|fighting broke out] in April 1775, Washington appeared at the [|Second Continental Congress] in military uniform, signaling that he was prepared for war. Washington had the prestige, the military experience, the charisma and military bearing, the reputation of being a strong patriot, and he was supported by the South, especially Virginia. Although he did not explicitly seek the office of commander and even claimed that he was not equal to it, there was no serious competition. Congress created the [|Continental Army] on [|June 14]; the next day, on the nomination of [|John Adams] of [|Massachusetts], it selected Washington as commander-in-chief. Washington assumed command of the American forces in Massachusetts in July 1775, during the ongoing [|siege of Boston]. Realizing his army's desperate shortage of gunpowder, Washington asked for new sources. British arsenals were raided (including some in the [|West Indies]) and some manufacturing was attempted; a barely adequate supply (about 2.5 million pounds) was obtained by the end of 1776, mostly from France.[|[22]] Washington reorganized the army during the long standoff, and forced the British to withdraw by putting artillery on [|Dorchester Heights] overlooking the city. The British [|evacuated Boston] and Washington moved his army to [|New York City]. Although negative toward the patriots in the Continental Congress, British newspapers routinely praised Washington's personal character and qualities as a military commander.[|[23]] Moreover, both sides of the aisle in Parliament found the American general's courage, endurance, and attentiveness to the welfare of his troops worthy of approbation and examples of the virtues they and most other Britons found wanting in their own commanders. Washington's refusal to become involved in politics buttressed his reputation as a man fully committed to the military mission at hand and above the factional fray. Washington crossing the [|Delaware River] depicted by [|Emanuel Leutze]. In August 1776, British General [|William Howe] launched a massive naval and land [|campaign designed to seize New York] and offer a negotiated settlement. The Continental Army under Washington engaged the enemy for the first time as an army of the newly-declared independent United States at the [|Battle of Long Island], the largest battle of the entire war. This and several other British victories (despite some American victories at the [|Battle of Harlem Heights] and elsewhere) sent Washington scrambling out of New York and across [|New Jersey], leaving the future of the Continental Army in doubt. On the night of [|December 25], [|1776], Washington staged a [|counterattack], leading the American forces [|across the Delaware River] to capture nearly 1,000 [|Hessians] in [|Trenton, New Jersey]. Washington was defeated at the [|Battle of Brandywine] on [|September 11], [|1777]. On [|September 26], Howe outmaneuvered Washington and marched into Philadelphia unopposed. Washington's army [|unsuccessfully attacked] the British garrison at [|Germantown] in early October. Meanwhile Burgoyne, out of reach from help from Howe, was trapped and forced to [|surrender his entire army] at [|Saratoga, New York]. As a result of this battle, France entered the war as an open ally of the Americans, turning the Revolution into a major world-wide war. Washington's loss of Philadelphia prompted some members of Congress to discuss removing Washington from command. This [|episode] failed after Washington's supporters rallied behind him.[|[24]] Depiction by [|John Trumbull] of the surrender of Lord Cornwallis's army at Yorktown Washington's army encamped at [|Valley Forge] in December 1777, where it stayed for the next six months. Over the winter, 2,500 men (out of 10,000) died from disease and exposure. The next spring, however, the army emerged from Valley Forge in good order, thanks in part to a full-scale training program supervised by [|Baron von Steuben], a veteran of the Prussian general staff. The British evacuated Philadelphia in 1778 and returned to New York City. Meanwhile, Washington remained with his army outside New York. He delivered the final blow in 1781, after a [|French naval victory] allowed American and French forces to trap a British army in Virginia. The [|surrender at Yorktown] on [|October 17], [|1781] marked the end of fighting. Though known for his successes in the war and of his life that followed, Washington only won three of the nine battles that he fought.[|[25]] Depiction by [|John Trumbull] of Washington resigning his commission as [|commander-in-chief].55555555555555555555555555555555555555555555555555555555555555555555555555555555=) In March 1783, Washington used his influence to disperse a [|group of Army officers] who had threatened to confront Congress regarding their back pay. The [|Treaty of Paris] (signed that September) recognized the independence of the United States. Washington disbanded his army and, on [|November 2], gave an eloquent farewell address to his soldiers.[|[26]] On [|November 25], the [|British evacuated New York City], and Washington and the governor took possession. At [|Fraunces Tavern] on [|December 4], Washington formally bade his officers farewell and on [|December 23], [|1783], he resigned his commission as commander-in-chief, emulating the [|Roman general Cincinnatus], an exemplar of the republican ideal of citizen leadership who rejected power. Washington's retirement to Mount Vernon was short-lived. He was persuaded to attend the [|Constitutional Convention] in [|Philadelphia] in the summer of 1787, and he was unanimously elected president of the Convention. He participated little in the debates involved (though he did vote for or against the various articles), but his high prestige maintained collegiality and kept the delegates at their labors. The delegates designed the presidency with Washington in mind, and allowed him to define the office once elected. After the Convention, his support convinced many, including the Virginia legislature, to vote for ratification; the new [|Constitution] was ratified by all 13 states.
