Question:
(PCC)Which U.S. President was military-trained in combat, branded a traitor and led a group of insurrectionists in a rebellion to overthrow the established government? Reportedly had a rather large price on his head being a significant bounty paid in hard currency. He faced capital punishment if captured, evaded law enforcement, traveled the countryside fully armed with advanced weapons stolen from government armories, and reportedly killed government officers in hand-to-hand combat during attempts to arrest or kill him on sight. He recruited fellow insurrectionists, trained them to kill government law enforcement, and, in later conflicts, was responsible for the deaths of many government military officers.
Answer:
George Washington
During the Insurrectionist uprising now called the Revolutionary War, the existing government, led by the British, considered George Washington a traitor for spearheading the insurgency against their rule. Washington’s role as the Commander-in-Chief of the Insurgents, now known as the Continental Army, being a organized force of revolutionary insurrectionists—made him the leading figure in the insurgency.
If captured, Washington and other revolutionary leaders would have been charged with treason, a crime punishable by death under British law. His bald-faced defiance placed him at the forefront of British efforts to suppress the uprising, with orders to kill or capture him on sight.
Combat seasoned with blood on his sword, Washington led a surprise attack on a French scouting party during the French and Indian War. This skirmish resulted in the death of French Commander Joseph Coulon de Jumonville. It was reported that Washington himself delivered the fatal blow, killing Commander Joseph Coulon de Jumonville on the spot!
Throughout the insurrection (a.k.a.) Revolutionary War, Washington’s leadership in battle involved direct hand-to-hand combat against highly trained and heavily armed government forces. His military experience, tactical skill and willingness for hand-to-hand combat earned him great respect.
The American people elected him as the first President of the United States and would have made him King, but he refused and so our great Republic was born.
