The first success of the continental army occurred at Trenton. This was a desperate win during the battle of Saratoga which ended up being a major victory for the army.
Saratoga was the first major victory for the Continental Army. It blocked a British invasion down the Hudson Valley, and led to the first surrender of a British Army to the Americans. The victory gave Franklin the necessary pretext to persuade the French to send money, supplies, and eventually troops and ships to America.
Saratoga is considered the turning point of the Revolutionary War..... it was a huge victory for the colonies, who hadn't been doing so well up until that point. This battle also gave proof to France that our cause was worth fighting for, and encouraged them to help us in our efforts to defeat the British.
British General John Burgoyne's military career is most noted in the US for his surrender to the American army at Saratoga, bringing France into the American Revolution.
The Second Continental Congress created the Continental Army.
