Question

Which leader do you think most helped the Patriots cause?

Answer 1

The correct answer is George Washington.

The leader that most helped the Patriot’s cause is George Washington.

First, let’s define the Patriots. The Patriots were people that supported the idea of gaining independence from England. They did not want to be a British country. They wanted to live in their own country under new laws.

The most imortant figure for the Patriots, although we have to say there were some, was George Washinton. Washinton led the Continental Army and after teh American Revolution, he became the first President of the United States. Other important and famous Patriots were Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, Samuel Adams, and Paul Revere.

Answer 2

This is of course a somewhat subjective question, but most would agree that it was George Washington who most helped the Patriots' cause, since he was a highly charismatic leader that gained the respect and attention of practically the entire colonial population.
