Colonial Weaknesses

Page history last edited by Mr. Hengsterman 7 years, 7 months ago

Colonies were badly organized, disunited for war. -

Continental Congress debated, but took little action and exercised less leadership

Written constitution (Articles of Confederation) not adopted until 1781.

Colonies were jealous of Congress, each other's region

Economic difficulties - Little metallic currency available (Fearful of taxation, Congress issued virtually worthless Continental currency)

Inflation led to increased prices, desertions from army. Limited military supplies - Inadequate firearms and powder
American soldiers were numerous but unreliable
