Most people seem to think that, had George Washington continued to lead the American Forces in the ARW, that America would have lost, and therefore would have remained ruled by Britian. As we know, Horatio Gates replaced washington, and lead the Americans to independance.
But despite what the textbooks say, I can't help but think Washington to would have lead America to independance. He was basically scape-goated after he was replaced as a reason to explain the failures of the revolution up to when Gates took over.
After the war, Gates became the first President of the USA. What if Washington had done the same after he won the war? How would American history have turned out?
OOC: I'm starting with the idea that we change the beginning of American History, and than work our way up to the present.
