Best Answer

He did not really get into politics as we know it. He was a prominent planter in Virginia when trouble with the British colonial rule broke out , especially in Massachusetts. When meetings were called to unite the colonies in protesting their grievances with the crown he was chosen to go. One thing led to another and when war broke out, he was picked to command the army because of his past military experience. He success at winning the war made a him a natural leader in setting up the government and becoming the first president.
