1June 775 13 The British colonies in North America held a "Continental Congress" in Philadelphia, and Washington was appointed Commander-in-Chief of the Continental Army. At this time, the Boston Rebels were fighting fiercely with the British. Washington immediately set off on horseback and arrived in Boston on July 3. He personally went to the front to direct the battle, which dealt a heavy blow to the British army.
In the early days of the war, American troops fought very hard. Most of them are farmers recruited temporarily, dressed in rags, unarmed and without formal military training. They are nothing like an army. On the other hand, the logistics supply of the US military is extremely difficult. Soldiers often don't have enough food and warm clothes. Sometimes they can't eat bread for five or six days in a row, so they have to eat horse food. In the cold winter, many soldiers have to March barefoot.
Under the extremely severe situation, Washington has always been loyal to the independent cause of the North American people and has never wavered. With extraordinary talent, he organized the American army, which was originally loose and lacked organizational discipline and unified command, grew up in the battle and gradually established a strong regular army. He encouraged American soldiers and called on them to fight for freedom.
He tried to unite the States to fight together. 1777 10, the American army defeated the British army in Sarato, thus reversing the whole situation of the War of Independence. At the same time, in order to isolate Britain, the United States launched diplomatic activities in various ways to win assistance from France and other countries.
1781110 In October, Kang Hua, commander-in-chief of the British army, led 7,000 British troops to surrender to Washington in Yorktown, and the American War of Independence won the final victory. At this point, the military confrontation stage of the American War of Independence ended.
After the victory of the War of Independence, Washington returned to Virginia to continue to run his own plantation, Mount Vernon, and enjoyed a quiet pastoral life under a green forest full of vines and fig trees. 1787, Washington came out again, presided over the Constitutional Convention, and formulated the world's first written bourgeois constitution-the federal constitution. 1789 In April, Washington was elected as the first president of the United States.
After eight years as president of the United States, he vowed not to be re-elected and resolutely returned to Mount Vernon to live a civilian life. Washington is a great statesman and strategist, and his light will shine on future generations forever.
