Question

Which of the following was NOT a difficulty George Washington faced creating the Continental Army? A. lack of supplies B. volunteer soldiers only enlisted for 6 months to one year C. untrained and undisciplined soldiers D. unfamiliar with the geography and terrain

Answer 1

The correct answer is D unfamiliar with the geography and terrain.

Answer 2

The correct answer is D. unfamiliar with the geography and terrain.

The Continental Army, lead by George Washington, squared off with the British army during the American Revolution. During this time, the colonists were extremely unorganized, had little supplies, and was staffed by thousands of volunteers.

However the Continental Army did have an advantage in knowing the geography/climate. Considering the volunteer soldiers for the Continental Army lived in the 13 colonies (where the fighting took place) the geography and terrain was very familiar to them.
