For a while, they couldn't! Although the pay for a private was only $6, the Congress almost never was able to pay the soldiers. In fact, only the soldiers' respect for their Commander, George Washington, kept many from deserting. In In the year 1783, after the war was over, the soldiers still had not been paid their salaries, and the Congress was chased out of Philadelphia by its own army!
That was a big problem. They didn't have the money so they gave land. One of the things that happened with this was that Hamilton who was secretary of the Treasury went to these men and bought the land deeds for pennies on the dollar. He literally stole the land from them. Some of the former soldiers never did get paid.
They borrowed from other nations when printing their own money failed.
The government raised money during the American revolutionary by selling bonds to the citizens.
how did the colonies get money to pay guns, food and uniforms for the army.
the killed rocks
They didn't
She was otherwise known as Molly Pitcher. Molly got this name by serving the soldiers water when they were really thirsty. Pitcher tended to the hurt soldiers on the battlefield and was very helpful. There are some statues of her today since she was so important in the Revolutionary War.
umm... The Revolutionary wasn't bad for the colonists. Yeah, they lost some good people in it, but they won their independence and became an independent nation. How could that be bad? Your question is thereby rendered invalid.
Women had a definite role to play during the Revolutionary War. Specifically, women were nurses, seamstresses, cooks, and maids. Some also even served as spies and soldiers.
Some people were imprisoned for being loyalists during the Revolutionary War. Most of then were put in jail for actually helping the British.
Congress does not have the expertise to fully regulate all subject, therefore it transfers some of its authority to an agency that does.
The congress decided to pay some of them with land
they lost some of their soldiers.
weapons and food and even soldiers some times
Me and my friend think that some of the soldiers might of been trained to be a docor and could of helped other soldiers wounds. ( If they were not hurt themself )
Mostly because they had not been paid, in some cases for years. During their service they had starved because their government provided them with little or no food. They had gone practically naked for lack of clothing. They had gotten by without proper equipment and supplies of all kinds. With the war ending, some men had served for years, and had nothing with which to try to pick up the threads of their civilian life.
to elect or appoint of some service upon a particular matter.
some other countries piched in there money ships and soldiers like russa and europe
The US payed the Revo. soldiers with land. But you have to realize America's army was mostly citizens. The citizens didn't get as much as the real army though

Some people think that Benedict Arnold is important because he was a traitor in the American Revolutionary War. He was first a great general for the American soldiers but then things all of sudden changed and he went over to be a British Soldier because he thought that the American soldiers would lose against the British. But turns out that he was wrong about that because the American soldiers won the American Revolutionary War between American soldiers and British soldiers. ~Thank You~
Many women in the revolutionary war provided comfort and support to the soldiers. They followed the army to cook and do laundry. Some women took up arms as the men fell.
Some were they did not have adequate clothing for the cold and they went hungrey because they could not afford rations
