Answer:

General Washington decided not to impose a battlefield strategy on his field commanders.

The general consensus among historians is that Washington was a mediocre military strategist at best. However, a recent study in the Academy of Management Journal cast some doubt on that consensus.

Step-by-step explanation:

Washington's largest blunder was surely his signing a surrender document with the French.

Washington's presidency was significant beyond the fact that he was the first president. His actions established a strong central government and helped put in place a plan to fix the problem of the national debt.
