  1. Tunn Tavern in Philadelphia is where the Continental Congress was convened when they passed the act that created the "Continental Marines" in 1775. The colonies were in rebellion but had not yet declared independence. When the war was over in the 1780s, the Continental Marines were disbanded, along with the rest of the rebel forces. In the 1790s Congress then created the modern organization named The United States Marine Corps, along with the US Navy. Both the Navy and Marine Corps count the births of their "Continental" versions as the beginning of their histories.
