American history is a tapestry of fact and opinion woven together. But one thing
that is seldom questioned is George Washington's genius as a military planner.
Shockingly, that's not universally considered true, as some analysts say he made many
mistakes and poor decisions. Nothing conceals mistakes like excellent leadership skill,
however, and Washington had that in spades. It would later prove to be an essential trait
in setting history's greatest democracy upon the right path.
What purpose does the last sentence of the passage serve?
It proves Washington's critics were wrong and he actually was a great military leader.
It shows Washington was able to learn from his mistakes before becoming president.
It separates criticism of Washington's military record from his greatness as president.
