Was George Washington present at the Battle of Monmouth in June 1778?

Yes.  In fact, it is his taking command of the retreating American forces that prevents the British from claiming a clear and decisive victory at Monmouth.  (The American commander, General Lee, believed that the Americans could not go to-to-toe with the British regulars - to which Washington replied "Sir, they are able, and by God they shall do it!")

William Lee (1756-1795) was an American diplomat during the Revolutionary War. His brothers, all also active within the Continental Congress, were Arthur, Francis, and Richard Lee. \n\nWilliam Lee, serving as an agent of the Continental Congress, attempted, but failed, to obtain support from Austria or Prussia. An unofficial U.S.-Dutch treaty that he helped draft became the cause of war between England and the Netherlands.*

George Washington's home was Mount Vernon on the Potomac.  To see pictures just type "Mount Vernon" on your search engine.  Lots of pictures.  It has been called the most beautiful home in America and it is America's number one historic tourist destination.  Valley Forge Pa. is a site where Washington and the continental army spent a hellacious winter (in 1777 I think).  Many men just froze to death.  They really went through some sh*t to win our freedom from the King.

Benedict Arnold (January 14, 1741 – June 14, 1801) was a general in the Continental Army during the American Revolution. He is best known for an act of treason against the United States — plotting to surrender the American fort at West Point, New York to the British. Arnold had distinguished himself as a hero of the revolution early in the war through acts of cunning and bravery at Fort Ticonderoga in 1775 and at the Battle of Saratoga in 1777. Arnold strongly opposed the decision by the Continental Congress to form an alliance with France, having experienced a bitter defeat at the hands of the French and their Indian allies during the French and Indian War (1754–1763).\n\nDisaffected due to grievances with the Continental Congress and the military, suffering from mounting personal debt, and facing corruption charges filed by the Pennsylvania civil authorities, Arnold also faced pressure at home from his young second wife, a British Loyalist. In 1780, he formulated his infamous scheme. If successful, this would have given British forces control of the Hudson River valley and split the colonies in half. The plot was thwarted, but Arnold managed to flee to England, where he was rewarded with a commission as a Brigadier General in the British Army along with a reduced award of £6,000 sterling.

Student of life is correct.\n\nNo sitting President led troops into battle, John Adams was in DC while it was being attacked by the British during the war of 1812.  Harry Truman lept to the balcony of the white hosue after hearing gun shots(someone was trying to shoot him)hence give em' hell Harry.  (He's the President and he is going outside to see who is shooting!)  Ike was the last General to be President while George HW Bush was the last President to have served in military action.  Clinton and Bush both avoided was, Reagan was an actor during WWII and made fund raising drive speeches, Carter was in the Navy and graduated from the Naval academy 59th out of 820, Ford was in the Navy in the south pacific and was the first eagle scout to be President.  (that takes us back 30 years worth of Presidents)

As a matter of fact, he did. The British at the time had a one-party system. In the U.S., we had the Loyalists ( who believed in British rule) and the Colonists (who did not). Guess which side George was on?
