Question: Was George Washington a traitor? answer (this ones from Quara) "Yep. He was a subject of the British Empire. He spoke with a British accent. He fought for the British as an officer in the French & Indian Wars - meaning he commanded British troops.

His father was British. His grandfather went to school in Great Britain. His great-grandfather was born there. His ancestors were from Washington, Tyne & Wear in England. The ancestoral home — (which still exists) is Washington Old Hall (now a UK National Trust Property). He never visited England but that wasn’t unusual in colonial days. If the British had captured him before the general agreement around the Declaration of Independence, he would have been put on trial and almost certainly hanged as a traitor (they may have spared his wife)." Does that answer your question? There are dozens of other sites which present the same answer.... You seem to miss the fact that Washington led "our" insurrection...very big difference. GCrum
