Dhameystir weedha soo socota: Bishii Abriil 23, 1775, Golaha Deegaanka ee Massachusetts ayaa ansixiyay in la dhiso ciidan gumeysi oo ka kooban 26 guuto. New Hampshire, Rhode Island, iyo Connecticut ayaa dhawaan sameeyay ciidamo la mid ah laakiin ka yar. 14-kii Juun, 1775-kii,
Shirweynihii Labaad ee Continental wuxuu go'aansaday inuu sii wado dhismaha Ciidan Continental ah oo loogu talagalay difaaca guud, isagoo qaadanaya ciidamada horay uga jiray meel ka baxsan Boston (22,000 oo askari) iyo New York (5,000). Waxay sidoo kale kor u qaadday tobankii shirkadood ee ugu horreeyay ee ciidamada Continental ee hal sano ah, qoryaha ka socda Pennsylvania, Maryland, Delaware iyo Virginia si loogu isticmaalo sida gaadiidka fudud, kuwaas oo noqday Guutada 1aad ee Continental ee 1776. Bishii Juun 15, 1775, Koongareesku wuxuu cod aqlabiyad leh ku doortay George Washington inuu noqdo Taliyaha Guud, kaas oo aqbalay oo u adeegay dagaalkii oo dhan iyada oo aan wax magdhow ah laga helin marka laga reebo magdhowga kharashyada. Taageerada Washington ee taliyaha guud waxay ahaayeen afar sarkaal oo waaweyn (Artemas Ward, Charles Lee, Philip Schuyler, iyo Israel Putnam) iyo siddeed sarkaal oo brigadier ah (Seth Pomeroy, Richard Montgomery, David Wooster, William Heath, Joseph Spencer, John Thomas, John Sullivan, iyo Nathanael Greene) Maaddaama Koongareeska Continental uu si isa soo taraysa u qaatay mas'uuliyadaha iyo mowqifka sharci dejinta ee dowlad madaxbannaan, doorka Ciidanka Continental wuxuu noqday mawduuc dood badan. Qaar ka mid ah dadka Maraykanku waxay si guud u diideen in ay hayaan ciidan joogto ah; laakiin dhinaca kale, shuruudaha dagaalka ka dhanka ah Ingiriiska waxay u baahdeen nidaam iyo abaabul ciidan casri ah. Natiijo ahaan, ciidanku wuxuu soo maray dhowr marxaladood oo kala duwan, oo lagu garto kala dirista rasmiga ah iyo dib u habeynta cutubyada.
