George Washington said When we assumed the soldier we did not lay aside the citizen what does this mean?
Schaggy09
During the War of Independence of 1775-1783 the Continental 'soldiers' were indeed American citizens. they were farmers, lawyers, clerks, shop keepers, and factory workers who wanted freedom from the high taxes and tyranny of England.
They were just like your regular neighbors of today who wanted to be free. So, the citizen was indeed the soldier as the soldier was the citizen.
You are a citizen today in the 21st century, would you not fight for freedom if need be again? Alex B.

Why did George Washington want to become a soldier?
George Washington never truly said, oh i am going to grow up and become a soldier but his brother Lawrence fought in the british navy and that inspired George. When Lawrence died of tuberculosis, George decided to try and take over lawrences job as head of the Virginia Militia.

I hope i helped =)
