George Washington

George Washington by Corinne
I believe that George Washington played an amazing part in winning the Revolutionary War.  Washington fought hard and helped us to win. If it were not for him, we might not be where we are today.  Washington was one of the most well known Revolutionary War heroes.
George Washington served as lieutenant in the French and Indian war and General in the Revolutionary war.  Because of this, he was a very experienced fighter. He was very well trusted by his men, which helped them to win.  Washington could simply wave his hat and his men would fight even harder. Fighting was easy for General George Washington because he was fighting on his own land and knew the territory very well (Oracle).
Washington fought hard for the patriots no matter what he faced. In the terribly cold battle of Valley Forge , he pushed  his men to keep going even in the extremely cold weather.  Also, he was always confident in what he was doing.
He was a gentleman on the battlefield.  Washington and his soldiers were expected to be gentlemen, even on the battlefield.  George was one of the only men that actually followed this.  Once, when another General’s dog got away, Washington returned it with a letter(Oracle).
As you can see, George Washington was an amazing person. He helped so much  with our countries freedom. Washington was very courageous in the battle for our country's freedom .

I have always wanted to learn more about George Washington (Other than in 3rd grade). I enjoyed this and will be researching more about him soon. Very good job, Corrinne.
