Deborah Sampson dressed in men's clothing and adopted the name Robert Shurtliff to enlist in the Continental Army during the American Revolutionary War, as women were not allowed to serve in combat roles at the time. By disguising herself as a man, she sought to fight for her country and gain independence. Her actions were driven by a strong sense of patriotism and a desire for adventure, allowing her to participate in military life without the restrictions placed on women.
