What is Continental Army?
The '''Continental Army''' was the fighting force of the thirteen [[British]] colonies in the [[American Revolutionary War]]. It was created in 1775 by the [[First Continental Congress]]. Most of the army was [[wikt:disband|disbanded]] in 1783 after the conclusion of the war. The army was officially closed by a resolution of [[Congress]] in 1784. A Legion of the United States partly replaced it in 1792, and the [[United States Army]] replaced it in 1796. Congress elected [[George Washington]] as the [[commander-in-chief]] of the Continental Army when it was formed. He led the army until it was disbanded. {{commons|American Revolutionary War}} {{history-stub}} [[Category:United States Army]] [[Category:American Revolutionary War]] [[Category:1775 establishments in the Thirteen Colonies]] [[Category:1780s disestablishments]] [[Category:18th-century disestablishments in the United States]]
