Lieutenant General
Time: Wednesday Jul 4, 1798
Place: U.S.
Details: Washington grew restless in retirement, prompted by tensions with France, and he wrote to Secretary of War James McHenry offering to organize President Adams' army. In a continuation of the French Revolutionary Wars, French privateers began seizing American ships in 1798, and relations deteriorated with France and led to the "Quasi-War". Without consulting Washington, Adams nominated him for a lieutenant general commission on July 4, 1798 and the position of commander-in-chief of the armies.

Best-effort ordering. Some events may appear out of order since many are only known to the year, but they are usually around the same period.
