General George Washington and the Revolutionary War
Congress created the Continental Army on June 14, 1775, and John Adams nominated George Washington to serve as the army’s Commander-in-Chief. While there were over 230 skirmishes and battles fought during the American Revolution, these are the battles where General Washington personally secured his legacy as “First in War.”
