Who led the army in the Revolutionary War?
Depends what Battle you are talking about. When the war began,
the American colonists did not have a regular army (also known as a
"standing army"). Each colony had traditionally provided for its
own defenses through the use of local militia. Continental army:
Seeking to coordinate military efforts, the Continental Congress
established (on paper) a regular army the Continental Army in June
1775, and appointed George Washington as commander-in-chief. The
development of the Continental Army was always a work in progress,
and Washington reluctantly augmented the regular troops with
militia throughout the war. Conway Cabal, Newburgh Conspiracy,
