Answer: The correct answer is : He is creating a unified nation to face the greatest land and sea power in the world.

Explanation: Burwell fought alongside George Washington. Burwell also encouraged voting for war to value independence. Colonies had repeatedly petitioned King George and Britiain's Parliament to repeal various taxes and to sit down and negotiate liveable and workable taxation terms.
