Explanation

George Washington (1732-1799) was an American politician who became one of the most influential figures in the history of the United States for having led the liberation campaign against the British between 1775 and 1783. Later, he became the first president of the United States from 1789 to 1797. According to the previous extract, it can be interpreted that George Washington did not feel comfortable fighting against the British because he recognized in them individuals like him, with the right to life, equality, and freedom. However, he also considered that the thirteen colonies had the potential to be independent and come out of British rule and tyranny so he had to fight them despite not feeling comfortable with it.
