Detailed explanation-1: -From 1754-1758 a young George Washington served as a Virginian officer alongside British forces during the French and Indian War (1754-1763). This was a war fought primarily by the colonies of Britain and France over a territorial dispute across several colonies.
Detailed explanation-2: -The delegates supported Washington’s nomination because he was one of the most experienced military commanders in the colonies. But his loyalty was also unquestioned, as he was born in North America and had never served in the British Army. Plus, he was a Virginian.
Detailed explanation-3: -He was first in war as the commander-in-chief of the Continental Army, leading the charge for American independence. He was first in peace as a farmer, a husband, and the first President of the United States. And he was first in the hearts of his countrymen as a beloved hero for all Americans.
