After Washington resigned his British army commission and had gained 53,000 acres for his service he went home. He married Martha and ran his plantation. It wasn't until 1776 when he goes to Congress to ask for the command of the American troops citing his experiences in the French and Indian War as the reason why he should be given the job.
