In sum, George Washington grew to become into the two a British citizen and a British officer and observed his united states of america, Britain, treating its electorate "around the pond" very in a various way than the electorate on the island over there. Efforts have been made to restoration issues, however the king refused at each element. They felt they had no selection. Then, very almost 50 years later, on January 29, 1820, Britain's King George III died insane at Windsor citadel, explaining lots approximately how the yankee Revolution got here approximately.

Like other Patriots, George felt that Britain was impinging upon the freedom of the colonists.
A minor, yet interesting point, is that Washington had greatly wanted to become a commisioned officer in the British Army. He served them well in the French and Indian Wars and felt slighted to have not received a commision.
Also, Washington had quite an ego and craved prestige. His social status and impressive military background made him the perfect choice to command the Continental Army, which gave him the prestige he craved.
Washington was a great man who wanted others to see him as great as well.

when he fought in the french - indian war for england before the revolution he was not given a commission after and he never forgot or forgave the british for that - he had fought for them and done well winning battles and distiguishing himself in battle agains the french. However he was a colonial and so got second rate treatment - little has changed since them - brits still treat everyone like **** who is not from there - even if you have a british passport and were born there like me and show it to them they still do - that happened to me over there calling me a yank and saying I am not british etc. No wonder why I had such a hard time when I come over here to canada. Just like americans there are alot of people who hate british people because you are arrogant ignorant etc..

Is this homework? You should be doing it yourself not getting other people to do it for you!
