George Washington & His Military

                In July of 1775, after the start of the American Revolution, George Washington formed an army. This group of troops later became famously known as the Continental Army. Even though the Continental Army had little training , they still won three out of nine major battles against the trained British troops. The Continental Army soldiers had very little food and were significantly unequipped compared to the British. Many of Washington's men argued among each other and never obeyed the generals orders. Although the Continental Army faced many challenges, they still won the fight for independence against the British.

                 I can't believe that the untrained colonists beat the trained British. When I awoke this morning, I heard a man shouting on the streets " We have won!" I couldn't believe what I had heard. The morning newspapers confirmed what I had heard: The British lost the war. The colonists only won three out of nine battles under the direction of George Washington. There was a rumor that the British lost because of lack of supplies. Either way, the British lost the American Revolution.
