Lexington & Concord

[Xenophon]

Freehold now has a race track. LOL

I know, raceway park.

There is amuseum dedicated to the battle, and a very important document, the transcript of the court martial of General Charles Lee for his conduct at Monmouth. From it we learn that Washington was a firey commander who cussed a blue streak when his orders were not obeyed as he intended.

Apparently his orders weren't very effective here....

Washington was not yet C-in-C yet.

His selection comes after Bunker hill, Congress wanted a southern commander (Virginia) to ensure greater support for the rebellion from the south.

It was just luck that washington turned out to be such a clever and able leader.

Was only referring to his command as a General.

GW was not in the field as a general either.

He was a member of Congress.
