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.

Why would an organized bus boycott put economic strain on the city?
Inessa [10]
It would of course cause bus attendance and revenue from bus tickets to drop significantly.
Usually boycotts are initiated in retaliation of something for example the removal of Rosa Parks for taking a white person’s seat. Boycott’s are really effective in sending a certain type of message across, such as wanting equality in bus seating, which later translated into the end of Jim Crow laws altogether. Another example is the Boycott of Goya Food products because the Goya Foods President who is of Latin origin, openly supported President Trump.
