Answer:

George Washington was selected by the Continental Congress to guide the Continental Army in the American Revolutionary War for two main reasons:

-On the one hand, he was the patriot with the most military experience in the Thirteen Colonies, since he had commanded troops efficiently during the French and Indian War and had organized the militias of Virginia after this war.

-On the other hand, Washington was a very important political figure in Virginia, which at that time was the most populous colony (and therefore, the one that could contribute more resources and more men to the cause). Therefore, by appointing Washington as commander, the Continental Congress secured Virginia's support for the patriotic cause.
