Weegy: George Washington was chosen to lead the Continental Army because he was from Virginia. Up until the point where the CA needed a Commanding Officer, the States were by and large, not in a "unified" mindset. [ Additionally, most of the conflict was occurring in Massachusetts, so none of the other colonies were really feeling the effects of the Acts of Intoleration and taxes. By picking someone from Virginia, this started the idea of a unified effort. ]
