Leading The Way
"I do not think myself equal to the command I am honored with."
-- George Washington, June 16, 1775
As much as Washington rightly became known as one of the great heroes of the American Revolution, he was a leader with human flaws. He suffered from bouts of indecisiveness, made strategic blunders, and faced challenges to his power.
At times he experienced moments of complete despair, believing that chances of an American victory were near impossible. Yet his deep commitment to the cause made it impossible for him to quit; his character forever compelled him to keep moving onward. |
