Washington became chief because they believed that if they were to defeat England, the colonies should be united. Since George Washington was from Virginia they thought if they chose him it would bring the colonies together. They also chose him because he had the most experience, knew to navigate through the wilderness well, and he would never give up to get freedom for his country.
