| | | | | Northwest Indian War: Encyclopedia II - George Washington - American Revolution: 1774-1783 By 1774, Washington had become one of the colonies' wealthiest men. In that year, he was chosen as a delegate from Virginia to the First Continental Congress. Although the American Revolution had not yet devolved into open warfare, tensions between the colonies and Great Britain continued to rise, and Washington attended the Second Continental Congress, in 1775, in military uniform—the only delegate to do so, somewhat promoting his availability as potential commander of the colonial forces. He strongly supported independence, and had much ...

However, his natural ability, his early education, and the connections he was able to form, made him one of the great leaders of his people.

American Revolutionary War - Political Crisis of 1775-1776.
As soon as the new United States of America was proclaimed independent (July 4, 1776), residents had to decide whether to support it or not. (Some people were silent, and that was allowed).
