George Washington was the cornerstone of the Revolution—the unshakable leader whose resolve carried a nation through fire, frost, and fear. He led a ragtag army of farmers and volunteers against the greatest military force on Earth and refused to surrender, even when outnumbered, outgunned, and outmatched. From the desperate crossing of the Delaware to the final victory at Yorktown, Washington’s presence turned chaos into order and doubt into determination. He asked for no crown, took no glory, and gave back his power when the war was won. In every battlefield command and every silent burden he carried, Washington became not just the father of a country—but the measure of what true leadership looks like.
