I personally consider Washington to have been one of our greatest military geniuses. He did so many creative/imaginative things to help win. Retreating across NJ then taking all the boats for miles around across the Delaware, so the British couldn't cross, crossing the Delaware at Christmas to take the Trenton fort, leaving the campfires burning on a hill to deceive the British into thinking his army was staying on that hill, etc. He was constantly tricky and planning ways to get advantages. If we had a more boring top general, the British might have won the war in a few months, by outnumbering and overwhelming the American army.
