England ruled 13 colonies on the eastern part of North America. Each colony had its own government and ran things its own way. To create unity and keep the peace, the Continental Congress was formed, and a few men from each colony went there to discuss things and find answers. They complained to England about many problems. But, when those problems were not fixed, fighting began between the colonies and England. Armed colonists were brought together by the Congress to form an army, the first military group serving all of the colonies.

Colonel George Washington was named commander-in-chief of armed forces who would fight for freedom (1775). Washington also had a small Navy to stop British ships that brought supplies to America. When the war ended, did the small, brave Navy. But, years later, as president of the new

States of America, Washington launched a permanent U.S. Navy.
