On this day in 1775 George Washington was selected as the Commander in Chief of the Continental Army
From National Park Service...
June 15, 1775 — After a unanimous vote in the Assembly Room of Independence Hall, George Washington was appointed Commander in Chief of the newly formed Continental Army. Washington did not take this appointment lightly. "I feel great distress from a conscience that my abilities and military experience may not be equal to the extensive and important trust," he told Congress. However, he eased fears of a military dictatorship by stating, "As the Congress desire it, I will enter upon the momentous duty and exert every power I possess in their service and for the support of the glorious cause."
The pledge that the army would operate under the civilian authority of Congress stands as one of Washington's greatest contributions to the American Revolutionary War. His leadership helped establish the principle that military authority should be subordinate to civilian governance, which remains a cornerstone of American democracy.
