The Continental Army was named for its origins in the Thirteen Colonies, which collectively formed a confederation to oppose British rule during the American Revolutionary War. Established by the Second Continental Congress in 1775, it represented a united effort of the colonies to fight against British oppression and assert their rights. The term "Continental" signified that it was a force composed of troops from various colonies, working together for a common cause. This name reflected their commitment to independence and the collective identity of the newly emerging nation.
