Database: Commander-in-Chief

PHILADELPHIA//USA//1775-06-15

George Washington's political sympathies shifted over the years, as he became increasingly frustrated with the oppression the British inflicted on the colonies. He became an avid supporter of a swelling revolution against the crown and, in June of 1775, bested his opponent, the Templar Charles Lee, to become Commander-in-Chief of the Continental Army at the Continental Congress ceremony in Philadelphia.

After giving a humble acceptance speech, Washington was introduced to the Assassin Connor by their mutual acquaintance, Samuel Adams. The introduction, however brief, was the foundation of a nation-shaping relationship between the pair.
