"Bad bread, no order, universal disgust." What Founding Father wrote these complaints about George Washington in his attempt to oust him as Commander-in-Chief?
Answer Benjamin Rush
Benjamin Rush was a major critic of General Washington after several defeats left the Continental Congress stung. Rush wanted fellow military men, Thomas Conway or Horatio Gates, at the helm, which he wrote in an anonymous letter to Patrick Henry (aka, the famed dude who said, "give me liberty or give me death"). Luckily, his words held no water.
