What was George Washington's greatest achievement?

Answer 1

== == That's hard to say, he had such a remarkable life. In my opinion though his achievement as general in chief, winning the War for Independence despite all the strategic disadvantages he had was the greatest and most important. His later work as president of the Constitutional Convention and President of the United States and the historical precedents he established in twice relinquishing power when he could have held it, would not have happened had he not first won that war.

Answer 2

Washington's policy of neutrality in the conflict that was emerging between England and revolutionary of France, was exactly what was called for under the circumstances. While hotheads demanded America moves in favor of France and against the hated mother country, Washington successfully avoided a war that would probably have meant the end of the independent republic. In negotiating a treaty with England, Washington won some significant concessions that helped protect Americans on the frontier from attack by the Indians and the British.
