Answer 2

The right answer is George Washington became commander of the American army and began to organize it.

The Continental Congress named George Washington commander in chief of a Continental army. The selection was based on his success in the French-Indian wars, his Virginia citizenship, the wealthiest and most populous province and his personal features that made him looks like a leader. The result of the Battle of Bunker Hill was a British victory with a large number of causalities. After the battle the two armies, American and British, settled in for a nine-month delay as the two opposing forces waited on diplomatic efforts.
