It was the Continental Army, not the American Army. America was not recognised as a separate country until 1788. The people who fought in it were British renegades. Valley Forge was important because after only sporadic victories (Trenton, Princeton) and defeat at Brandywine the army was demoralized and on the verge of dissolution (as it was for most of the war.) Baron von Steuben was a Prussian officer who offered his services to Congress and they commissioned him an officer and sent him to Valley Forge. As the army was quartered for the winter, he began European training and drilling of the soldiers. By all accounts, the Army that came out of Valley Forge was highly trained in a short period of time. They felt they could match the British regulars soldiery and it lent a widespread confidence among the soldiers and the officers and Washington in both their prospects and prosecution of the rest of the war.
