Does he deserve to be called of a hero?

I think he does deserve to be called a hero because he wanted to organize and raise more troops for the continental army. He banned African Americans from serving in the army; he moved his troops to New York, he used all his leadership skills just to save his outnumbered army. On charismas night 1776 Washington and 2,400 soldiers silently crossed the icy Delaware River. He was not satisfied with only one of his victories; Washington marched down to the town of Princeton. The planned another surprise attack for the enemy. Not to mention the Washington D.C was named after him.
