On #ThisDayInHistory in 1783, the #ContinentalArmy was disbanded. The #Founders opposed the existence of a standing army from fear of state tyranny, and the country did not have one until 1791, when the tiny Legion of the United States was created. It was renamed #USArmy in 1796.

The Continental Army’s iconic blue and buff uniforms weren’t adopted until 1779!
A key move to unify American soldiers and stand out from the British. It’s all about that revolutionary style!

The @usarmy.bsky.social deserved a better 250th Birthday Party than what they got for $50 million in DC. Thank you to the millions of Americans who took to the streets with patriotic pride to parade our peaceful army of #WeThePeople to renew the mission of our #ContinentalArmy: NO KINGS!

The creation of the #ContinentalArmy was, in the long run, perhaps their most significant achievement. The message was clear: This was not a regional outbreak of violence but was the #unitedresponse of the mainland North American colonies.
