Actually, he wasn't reluctant . He had a uniform made and went to Congress in June of 1776. He told them he was the only one with war experience and they needed him. He cited his French and Indian war experiences as a British officer. The Congress accepted what he offered, but also warned him if he failed he would not be treated nicely by history.

∙ 8y agoWashington wasn't reluctant. In fact he had a uniform made to wear to congress when he asked to be the American commander. He argued that his experience as a British officer in the French and Indian war made him the perfect candidate. He came into congress with a great charisma in a blue wool uniform with gold epaulets on the shoulders, brass buttons, and standing over 6 feet tall he cut quite a figure according to reports from members of congress. Congress told him that they would give him a chance, but if he didn't succeed they would make sure history recorded his failure.
