How was the United States Army founded?

On the 14th of June 1775, The 2nd Continental Congress started the Continental Army. This was a way for the 13 colonies to battle against the already well established armed forces of Britain. George Washington was elected Commander-In-Chief in a unanimous vote. George Washington and his troops would battle the British and lead the thirteen colonies to complete victory and secured our independence.
