Washington served in the House of Burgesses in 1758 for 17 years then became Justice of the Peace for Fairfax County. He was elected as a Virginia delegate for both the first and second Continental Congress. Later he was unanimously elected as commander-in-chief of the Continental Army. Easily defeat by Britain's General Howe throughout New York and New Jersey, Washington and his army retreated into Pennsylvania. On December 25, 1776, he crossed the Delaware River and captured Trenton, then on January 3 won at Princeton. Washington lost to Howe at Brandywine, then again at Germantown. After Howe took Philadelphia, Washington spent the winter at Valley Forge. George Washington had one last victory at Yorktown before the war ended.
