Now that we've studied the leaders of revolutionary movements in England, France, and Latin America, let's take a look at George Washington and why he was uniquely qualified to lead the Continental Army during the American Revolution. Watch the video linked above and then type your answers to these questions:
1) What previous experience did George Washington have in leading troops?
2) What colony was Washington from?
3) Why were some of the delegates at the Second Continental Congress hoping to have someone from Washington’s colony be commander?
4) How did Washington gain his wealth?
5) What did Washington wear to the Second Continental Congress that might have shown his “ambition” to be Commander?
6) What does the video say about Washington’s height? Why do you think his height affected what people thought of him?
7) List two adjectives that historians used to describe Washington’s character.
8) Washington was described as having a “ruthless and intense focus.” What does this mean to you?
9) What makes a good leader?
10) Think about some of the characteristics that you said make a good leader. How does George Washington compare?
