The Continental Congress appointed Washington commander-in-chief of
the American revolutionary forces in 1775. The following year, he
forced the British out of Boston, lost New York City, and crossed
the Delaware River in New Jersey, defeating the surprised enemy
units later that year. As a result of his strategy, Revolutionary
forces captured the two main British combat armies at Saratoga and
Yorktown. Negotiating with Congress, the colonial states, and
French allies, he held together a tenuous army and a fragile nation
amid the threats of disintegration and failure. Following the end
of the war in 1783, Washington returned to private life and retired
to his plantation at Mount Vernon, prompting an incredulous King
George III to state, "If he does that, he will be the greatest man
in the world."
