braddock would be killed. washington would lead the survivors back to safety and braddock's successor, jeffrey amherst, would not honor that commitment to give washington an officer's commission. and because of that, young george felt -- he felt that he and other colonials would always remain in a subservient position, subservient position as long as they were british subjects. he would finally get the commission he sought, but it wouldn't be until 1775, and it would not be a british army commission. instead, it would be commander of continental forces in this revolutionary protest. and as he takes command of the continental army, young george told the politicians he would not accept pay for his service, however, he did expect that his expenses would be reimbursed. and, in fact, through the course of the war, year after year, george will be reappointed year after year as the commander, even though people like horatio gates and people like charles lee were angling to have washington replaced, washington stays i

they warned braddock against the attack, you'll be cut to pieces going through the woods, which they were. rekindled in 1775 during the second continentalling congress, this friendship continued through the revolution, the constitutional convention and the establishment of the federal government. perhaps because of the differences in the background, the age, the manner, the public image their relationship was not wide hi commented on -- widely commented on then and remains little discussed today which is why i decided to write a book about it. but it existed and helped to shape the course of american history. both have been hailed by biographers as, and i'm quoting from the title to have book, as the first americans. but they were also friends. and up like, say, adams and jefferson, never rivals. both were comfortable in their own skin and knew who they were and were confident people. their relationship gained historical significance, of course, during the american revolution when franklin led america's diplomatic mission to europe and washington commanded the continental army. victo
