The correct option is D George Washington
Fed up of British colonial rule, the American settlers rose in rebellion against it. On 4 July 1776, they declared that the thirteen colonies of America were independent of the parent country. George Washington, a seasoned military commander, was appointed as the commander-in-chief of the Continental Army.
