Question

Why were there problem raising an army?

Answer 1

Answer: The army faced many problems with organization, money, and

transportation. The Continental Army formed a special department, called the Quartermaster, to take care of getting needed items and delivering them to soldiers in the field. The Quartermaster asked each state and its people to help provide food, clothing, blankets and other items, but this did not result in having enough supplies to go around.

Also, There was not a lot of gold and silver in the American colonies. Paper money, or currency, became more and more worthless as the war went on. That meant that the Quartermaster could not easily purchase military supplies from Europe or food from local farmers.
