Washington Appointed Commander-in-Chief, 1775

Entitled: "Washington, appointed Commander in Chief" shows George Washington standing on a platform surrounded by members of the Continental Congress. In the background, women wave their handkerchiefs. After the Battles of Lexington and Concord near Boston in April 1775, the colonies went to war. Washington appeared at the Second Continental Congress in a military uniform, signaling that he was prepared for war. Washington had the prestige, military experience, charisma and military bearing of a military leader and was known as a strong patriot. Virginia, the largest colony, deserved recognition, and New England, where the fighting began, realized it needed Southern support. Washington did not explicitly seek the office of commander and said that he was not equal to it, but there was no serious competition. Congress created the Continental Army on June 14, 1775. Nominated by John Adams of Massachusetts, Washington was then appointed as a full General and Commander-in-chief. Lithograph by Currier & Ives, 1876.
