I have chosen to write an essay about GW and I am currently struggling to find sources, or historical debates about this topic. Everywhere I look for negative things said against the man I always come to Reddit but I can never find a historical source or a historian that I can reference correctly. For clarification I am writing a 4000 word essay for the OCR exam board and I am from the UK.
P.s I am not asking for someone to write this for me because I want to try and write this independently, I am just looking for assistance with the source finding and maybe ideas I can write about.
Many Thanks Historians
