After losing a couple of battles he eventually led the Americans to victory against the British in the city of Yorktown. It wasn't only Americans that fought in this war. They also had help from some French Forces led by General Comte de Rochambeau. During the battle they captured about 7,000 British soldiers. On December 26th, forces led by George Wahington crossed the Delaware and surprised the British at Trenton. The biggest attack was made by 2,400 troops under Washington on the Hessian Garrison. Washington's forces acheived total surprise and defeated the British forces. The American victory was the first of the war. He was a good leader because he had experience.
