 It is 1776. A lot has happened since the last time we saw George Washington. At this time, he's probably at the lowest point in his life. He's now 44 years old, had been the commander-in-chief of the Continental Army for a year and a half. And that means he was the leader of the American Revolution. On his shoulders rested the fate of his country and, as he said, and I quote, the fate of unborn millions. And that fate was looking as bleak as ever.
