I tried searching this topic, but couldn't find any info on it. Lets say in one of the battles Washington was involved in, maybe at the defense of Fort Necessity, Washington is killed. What impact would this have on Colonial American, British, and American history. He seems to be acknowledged as a unifying force for both the northern and southern colonies during and AFTER the Revolutionary War. Would the conflict go as it did in OTL? Is there anyone who could fill the imposing boots Washington occupied during that conflict and keep the US together after the war/Articles of Confederation?
