Prior to the Revolutionary War, the east coast of what is now the U.S. was a collection of British colonies. When the Colonies got together and declared their independence from Great Britain, the British did not recognize the independence of the United States, and they attacked. When, under the command of Gen. George Washington, the U.S. Army defended against the British, the Revolutionary War was under way.
