The resulting British military occupation led to the <a href="/wiki/Boston_Massacre" title="Boston Massacre">Boston Massacre</a> in 1770. Among further tensions, the British Parliament imposed the <a href="/wiki/Intolerable_Acts" title="Intolerable Acts">Intolerable Acts</a> in mid-1774. A British attempt to disarm the Americans and the resulting <a href="/wiki/Battles_of_Lexington_and_Concord" title="Battles of Lexington and Concord">Battles of Lexington and Concord</a> in April 1775 ignited the war. In June, the <a href="/wiki/Second_Continental_Congress" title="Second Continental Congress">Second Continental Congress</a> formalized Patriot militias into the <a href="/wiki/Continental_Army" title="Continental Army">Continental Army</a> and appointed Washington its commander-in-chief. The British Parliament declared the colonies to be in a <a href="/wiki/Proclamation_of_Rebellion" title="Proclamation of Rebellion">state of rebellion</a> in August 1775. The stakes of the war were formalized with passage of the <a href="/wiki/Lee_Resolution" title="Lee Resolution">Lee Resolution</a> by the Congress in Philadelphia on July 2, 1776, and the unanimous ratification of the <a href="/wiki/United_States_Declaration_of_Independence" title="United States Declaration of Independence">Declaration of Independence</a> two days later, on July 4, 1776. </p><p>After a <a href="/wiki/Siege_of_Boston" title="Siege of Boston">successful siege</a>, Washington's forces drove the <a href="/wiki/British_Army" title="British Army">British Army</a> out of Boston in March 1776, and British commander in chief <a href="/wiki/William_Howe,_5th_Viscount_Howe" title="William Howe, 5th Viscount Howe">William Howe</a> responded by launching the <a href="/wiki/New_York_and_New_Jersey_campaign" title="New York and New Jersey campaign">New York and New Jersey campaign</a>.

In the summer of 1777, as Howe was poised to capture <a href="/wiki/Philadelphia_campaign" title="Philadelphia campaign">Philadelphia</a>, the Continental Congress fled to <a href="/wiki/Baltimore" title="Baltimore">Baltimore</a>.

Indian raids on the American frontier, however, continued to be a problem.
