Best Answer

Although their relationship with Great Britain had been deteriorating rapidly, many of the colonists believed the retaliatory acts that they had been enduring of late were more about Parliament than the king. As a result, they sent what was known as the Olive Branch Petition to King George. He didn't even look at it, and treated them as a province in rebellion, sending soldiers to suppress it. The Americans had not prepared for the war, although their communication networks had improved. As a result, the Continental Army struggled due to a lack of funds, and most of the colonists took part in scattered, poorly trained, local militias.
