Was George Washington a hero Why or Why not?
Washington was definitely a hero. He commanded the colonial army which was much more difficult than just making military strategy. He had to constantly work to keep his men together and to get his army supplied. The colonies had little taxing power and little money and did not always send their share of supplies. The men volunteered for a fixed period of time and often left the army once their hitch was up. He had few regulars. Mostly he had to train farmers to be soldiers. He had to personally inspire them to serve. After he won the war, he was a leader in setting up the new government and served as its first president. However, even though he might have served much longer, he stepped down after two terms because that was the plan of the new government- to abolish the office of king. A lesser man might have given up on the war and if he won, he might have made himself dictator as have so many leaders of other countries.
