The Revolutionary War had ended, but Congress had yet to find the funds to pay the officers and men for their service. Hints that the army, led by long-time Washington rival Horatio Gates, might refuse to disband, and possibly march on Philadelphia “to demand satisfaction” from Congress, reached George Washington, who decided to confront the restless troops at Newburgh. If the point of the war had been to give the American people the opportunity to make a choice of government for themselves, then the Revolution, so newly nearly won, was about to be lost. By threatening to impose its will on the Congress, the Continental Army was about to make that choice for the country.
