George Washington was a leader of the Continental Army.
Explanation:
George Washington was one of Virginia's delegates to the Continental Congress.
The Congress was made up of a group of representatives from each of the colonies who decided to fight the British together.
In May 1775, George Washington was appointed Commander-in-Chief of the Continental Army.
George Washington had no easy task. He had an army made up of farmers who were supposed to fight trained British soldiers.
Nevertheless, he managed to keep his army together. After six years, thanks to Washington, the Continental Army claimed victory over the British. The British Army surrendered on October 17, 1781.
