	Continental Army - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		As the Continental Congress increasingly accepted the responsibilities and posture of a legislature for a sovereign state, the role of the Continental Army was the subject of considerable debate.
		The Continental Army of 1776, reorganized after the initial enlistment period of the soldiers in the 1775 army had expired.
		The Continental Congress passed the Eighty-eight battalion resolution, ordering each state to contribute forces in proportion to their population, and Washington was given authority to raise additional 15 battalions.

	William Harris Keyser
		Continental money was nearly worthless, so Pennsylvania farmers often hid their horses and wagons rather than contract with the Army and be paid with useless money.
		Many soldiers did not live to see the spring, as smallpox went through the camps, and many of the underfed troops caught the pox and died.
		William and the other soldiers in these two attacking columns wore pieces of white paper in their hats to avoid confusion in the darkness, and were armed with unloaded muskets and fixed bayonets, so that an accidental shot would not reveal their presence and reduce the element of surprise.

	The 65th Infantry at Jackson Heights,Korea-The Story
		One suggestion advanced by the Continental Regimental Executive Officer, LTC Clayton C. Craig, was for all the Puerto Rican soldiers to shave their mustaches off until they could "prove they were real men".
		In a Puerto Rican unit, where 90% of the men wear mustaches as a cultural trait, it would be humiliating and interpreted by the soldiers as a challenge to their manhood and as discrimination, since Continental soldiers in the other regiments were allowed to wear mustaches.
		Soldiers were given one week to comply or face the charges of a court-martial.

	American Revolution - Revolutionary War Battles - "Valley Forge" The Winter of 1777-1778
		Valley Forge, 25 miles west of Philadelphia, was the campground of 11,000 troops of George Washington's Continental Army from Dec. 19, 1777, to June 19, 1778.
		Soldiers relied both on their home states and on the Continental Congress for these necessities.
		Poor organization, a shortage of wagoners, lack of forage for the horses, the devaluation of the Continental currency spoilage, and capture by the British all contributed to prevent these critical supplies from arriving at camp.

	The 65th Infantry at Jackson Heights,Korea
		It was a sharp example of the gallantry of the Puerto Rican soldier, who in the most adverse combat conditions held to his mission, while under-gunned, against superior forces, poor artillery support and direct enemy observation and fields of fire.
		Soldiers on the MLR cheered when suddenly a stubborn and courageous machine gunner opened fire and mowed down the Chinese as they assaulted.
		Soldiers were ordered out of whatever shelter they had to place well aimed fire on the assaulting enemy.

		After the First Continental Congress, King George III told General Thomas Gage, the Governor of Massachusetts and the commander of all the British soldiers in North America, to use force when necessary to make certain the British rule in the colonies was maintained.

	Review of Suffering Soldiers: Revolutionary War Veterans, Moral Sentiment, and Political Culture in the Early Republic.
		Resch then goes on to conclude that "when all of Peterborough's soldiers are examined within the context of their households and community," the concept presented by many "modern" historians "that the Continental Army was unrepresentative of society fails to materialize.
		Indeed, the author is quick to fault the likes of historian Charles Neimeyer, whose study of the Continental Army's soldiery reached the conclusion that the popular notion of the war being fought by "the well-to-do and 'yeoman farmers'" was pure national myth.[1] Numerous analytic problems, unfortunately, exist with Resch's argumentation.
		To include them, as Resch does, in his analysis of Revolutionary soldiers has the immediate effect of weighting his Peterborough sample more toward the middle and upper ranks of that community's socio-economic structure, especially if virtually every eligible male served in some sort of unit, even if for a few days.

		He had been a soldier himself in the darkest period of the war, that point of it that emphatically " tried men's souls," was wounded, and knew what soldiers suffered.
		The soldiers consider it cruel to be thus vilified, and it is cruel as the grave to any man, when he knows his own rectitude of conduct, to have his hard services not only debased and underrated, but scandalized and vilified.

		Enlistment was like any labor contract; the army could utilize a soldier’s life in exchange for pay and provisions.

		According to Neimeyer, “By mid-war, mutiny, actual or merely threatened, quickly became commonplace in the Continental Army.” (146) 1779 and 1780 saw audacious popular action by soldiers, involving larger and better-organized protests than earlier in the war.
