When, Why, and Where
== The Washington Army was created because during the battle of Lexington and Concord, and the French and Indian War, the colonies did not have an army. On June 15th, 1776, the Congress elected George Washington as the commander in Chief of the Army. Before this, on April 23rd, 1775, the Massachusetts Provincial Congress authorized the making of a colonial army was only 26 company regiments.
