The young people who enlisted were people who were hopeful and willing to fight for the greater good.
We can arrive at this answer because:
The Revolutionary Army was the army formed in America to fight the British army during the American Revolution.
The men who enlisted were of different ages, but many of them were very young, under 20 years of age.
During enlistment, they were hopeful and willing to fight, as they believed that this was their duty and that it would bring great honor and benefits.
They believed they were enlisting in pursuit of a greater good, which was greater than any fear or doubt.
