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.

For more details on George Washington's appointment as Commander in Chief, you might want to look at materials available from George Washington's Mount Vernon, the museum of George Washington's estate in Virginia.

CAN SOMEONE WRITE ME A ROUGH DRAFT FOR HISTORY ON THE TRAIL OF TEARS
lukranit [14]

When people tink about the first people in America, they might think of Christopher Columbus or the European colonists; when, in fact, the first people were the Indians. The Cherokee Indians had lived in the lands of what is now the United States for thousands of years before any colonists had ventured over. Little did they know that the new nation that was going to be forming around them, would severely affect the lives of their descendents.

Life before the Trail of Tears but after the arrival of the new Americans was more or less simple for the Cherokees. They spend time hunting and fishing. Some of them even worked on plantations and even own their own slaves, in an effort to accommodate to some of the American ways of living.

hope its helps
