Leading up to the Battle for New York in 1776, Hamilton joined the Continental Army hoping to see action in battle and perhaps a battle command. On whose staff did he instead serve?

General George Washington

Explanation:

George Washington elected as Commander in Chief of the Continental Army. Alexander Hamilton joined the Continental army during the Revolutionary War. He obtained his position as aide-de-camp (a personal assistant) to General Washington.

In 1776, Hamilton became the captain of an artillery company. His knowledge in artillery tactics and military drills impressed officers in the Continental Army. He received an offer to serve as military aid for William Alexander. He also received an offer from George Washington which he accepted, that earned him a lieutenant colonel.

the committees of correspondence were the american colonies’ means for maintaining communication lines in the years before the revolutionary war. in 1764, boston formed the earliest committee of correspondence to encourage opposition to britain’s stiffening of customs enforcement and prohibition of american paper money. the following year, new york formed a similar committee to keep the other colonies notified of its actions in resisting the stamp act. in 1773, the virginia house of burgesses proposed that each colonial legislature appoint a committee for intercolonial correspondence. the exchanges that followed built solidarity during the turbulent times and bring about the formation of the first continental congress in 1774.
