What was George Washington's role in the american revolution?

George Washington was the American military leader responsible for the defeat of the British in the American Revolution. He was the first president of the United States of America, considered the "Father of the Nation". He chaired the convention that drafted the "Constitution". The country's Federal Capital was named after him.

In the year 1765, the British Parliament passed the "Stamp Law", which established the obligation of English stamps on all documents circulating in the colony. The proceeds were intended to sponsor British military forces. The law generated immediate dissatisfaction among the settlers and Washington took the lead to overturn the English measure.

As a great landowner and skilled negotiator, he moderately articulated himself against British taxes and laws applied in the colony.
