#2 George Washington, the young man from Virginia, is now on the road to fulfill a destiny greater than he could ever imagine. Nothing will stop him, not even the fear of death itself.
#3 The Second Continental Congress was convened to discuss the possibility of war with England. The mood in the city was charged with anticipation and fear, as the world was about to change.
#4 The meeting of the American colonies in the First Continental Congress was a major accomplishment. It was a challenge to the powerful royal family in England, as well as to centuries of vested power and authority everywhere.

Insights from Chapter 1

#1

When George’s brother, Lawrence, died of tuberculosis, he left him two small parcels of land. But for George, now twenty years old, gaining a few parcels of land did not begin to fill the void left by the loss of his brother.

#2

George Washington, the young man from Virginia, is now on the road to fulfill a destiny greater than he could ever imagine. Nothing will stop him, not even the fear of death itself.

#3

The Second Continental Congress was convened to discuss the possibility of war with England. The mood in the city was charged with anticipation and fear, as the world was about to change.

#4

The meeting of the American colonies in the First Continental Congress was a major accomplishment. It was a challenge to the powerful royal family in England, as well as to centuries of vested power and authority everywhere.

#5

The Pennsylvania State House, where the Continental Congress met, was the designated meeting place for the Congress. George Washington, a delegate from Virginia, stood out because of his military uniform and command presence.

#6

As the colonies began to realize they needed to form a Continental Army, they began to debate who should lead it. Washington was one of the candidates.

#7

George Washington’s life was centered around the pursuit of honor, and he could always judge others harshly if they failed to live up to his high standards of integrity. However, he always judged himself first, and tried to improve himself constantly.

#8

Washington’s reputation as a man of honor and integrity served him well throughout his life. It was what led Governor Robert Dinwiddie to assign him to lead the first crucial expedition of the French and Indian War at age twenty-one, and it was what led the Continental Congress to unanimously appoint him commander of the American army at age thirty-five.

#9

The colonies officially have an army, and George Washington is its commander. He is overwhelmed by the weight of the responsibility, but he accepts it anyway.

#10

In the first full year of the Revolutionary War, George Washington was the leader of the Continental army. The colonies had placed all their hopes in him, and any person who conspired to assassinate him was treasonous almost beyond measure.

#11

George Washington was appointed the new leader of the Continental army on June 22, 1775. He had instilled in the other generals his conviction that whenever they appeared in public, their presentation must be exemplary.

#12

On June 25, Washington and his generals arrived in Newark, New Jersey, and then traveled northeast to the Hudson River, where they boarded a ferry across the water to Manhattan Island. They arrived in New York City on June 26. While many residents cheered for the Continental army, there were also many who did not support them.

#13

The city of New York is a base for Loyalist sentiment. The Anglican Church is dominant in New York, and most of its flock won’t betray their faith and turn against the mother country.

#14

The Battle of Alamance was the first major confrontation between British forces and the Regulator movement in North Carolina. In it, Governor William Tryon’s forces overran the poorly armed farmers, killed or wounded several dozen, and shackled the group’s leaders.

#15

Washington was uneasy about the proximity of Governor Tryon and his troops. He knew about Tryon’s past in North Carolina, and his violent suppression of the Regulator movement. He was right to be worried.
Insights from Chapter 2

#1

On July 2, 1775, George Washington and his generals arrive in Cambridge, Massachusetts. They are met by a greeting committee consisting of two of the most prominent Patriots in Massachusetts: Moses Gill, a politician, and Dr. Benjamin Church, a member of the legendary Sons of Liberty.

#2

Washington’s assessment of the Continental Army was that it was a motley crew of men and boys, with no training or supplies.

#3

The lack of gunpowder was one of the biggest setbacks for the American troops. The British forces were just across the Back Bay in Boston, barely a mile away, and fully armed. If the British attacked, Washington’s soldiers would be slaughtered.

#4

New York City is slipping away from the British Empire. The Governor, William Tryon, senses this, and he hopes that the city’s powerful merchant classes, who depend on secure trade with the mother country, will support England and oppose the upheaval of rebellion.

#5

The city of New York has been taken over by the radicals, and Governor Tryon knows that he needs to restore order. He wants to apply a firm hand and bring back proper authority, but many of the tools of his governorship have been taken away.

#6

After the Battle of Brooklyn, Governor William Tryon began gathering intelligence on the American revolutionaries, both among the politicians and the lower classes. He was sure that one way or another, his side would win and the rebels would be defeated.

#7

At every step, Washington has answered, Order from chaos. When his father died, and then his brother, he learned to overcome the loss by exercising control, by being more disciplined, and by working harder.
