So let's remake independence war of USA, but without one major man Colonel (later general) G. Washington, what would had changed, how, and at what time
I will state my ideas only after I see how you feel about it, to make it more interesting.

Well I for sure know that the actual war wouldn't have been impacted either way. Washington was not a good commander, and while he did have a couple key victories any general could have replicated his strategy.

He wasn't the best commander, but he was a more like born leader for action, his course of action led to independence and if he wasn't there who would? And how could somebody replicate someone who didn't exist then, it would be a big difference in either way... |

History would remain largely the same, someone such as James Monroe or Alexander Hamilton could have taken the mantle of becoming the country's first president (Who could both be very skills Heads of State, Monroe actually becoming an incredibly important one later on in the 1820's), and the Americans had multiple pretty decent generals at their disposal for the most part, as well as gaining support from the French, Spanish and Dutch, and was aided by Monsieur Lafayette and Baron Von Steuben. The War for Independence would have still been won, all though I can't say for certain that our policy of neutrality would have been established with Monroe or Hamilton in charge. Here are the two paths history could go in (One for Monroe and one for Hamilton)
Hamilton Presidency:
-U.S government becomes stronger and more like Great Britain's (Minus the tyranny, ofc).
-U.S becomes industrializes sooner (All though not incredibly industrialized) due to Hamilton's Federalist approach
-U.S tries to get relations higher with Great Britain while forgetting France for the most part.
-U.S is still neutral and actively attempts to avoid conflict and crises with foreign powers during the rest of the 18th century and for the first half of the 19th.
-U.S history is largely unaffected otherwise.
Monroe Presidency:
For Monroe, I'd actually say history goes on almost exactly the same, except the Monroe Doctrine is maybe implemented sooner (Maybe, Maybe not).
