Reasons for choosing George Washington as Commander in Chief:

  • They wanted a commander in chief who had solid combat experience, and George Washington had a strong record from the French and Indian War.
  • George Washington, at age 43, was both old enough to be respected and young enough to have the vigor and stamina for the battle campaigns that lay ahead.
  • Among the colonies, Virginia had the most wealth and population. having a commander in chief from Virginia made sense as Virginia was key to the success of the overall effort.
  • Virginians at the Second Continental Congress convinced congress delegates from other states of Washington's character and determination as a patriot.
