Inspiration
The colonies formed the Continental Army after the outbreak of the Revolutionary War. Its purpose was to defeat the Redcoats in battle and establish the thirteen colonies as an independent nation, free from the British King's rule. The Continental Army was the basis for what is now the United States Army, established in 1796.
