General George Washington was arguably the most important and most famous person of the American Revolution, and was essential in his role in the United States Constitution and his shaping of the role of the Presidency. However, he had some close calls. This story shows an alternate of if he had died on a British prison ship after being capturing following the Battle of Long Island (aka the Battle of Brooklyn Heights). He may have been the only person who kept the United States of Congress Assembled, later the United States of America, in one piece and may have saved it from becoming like the Monarchy they just left.
