I think that the main reason was because if a man didn't join the army, he was seen as a coward and people didn't regard him as a man, they thought of him as a boy, so it was mainly to keep their pride and dignity.
They also probably just wanted to help win the war, serve their country and make their family proud.
They felt a loyalty to their country and they felt that they had to fight for their country.
I hope I've helped :)

∙ 13y agoin general i believe that British men joined the armed forces for two valid reason's:
-patriotism -peer pressure
patriotism was a big thing in the early 1900's and men would die and serve for "king and country" they would be big heroes all the women would adore them and it would be over by Christmas which it certainly was not.
peer pressure is another main point to consider also.for example:freinds/relatives joined because they thought it would be "a laugh"they thought if their friends were going they didn't want to be left out and be called upon as a coward.

What was one recruiting method used by American colonists to enlist more slaves into the Revolutionary army in the war against the British?
The American Revolutionary War provided slaves with an incentive to join the fight against the British. American slaveholders were provided with incentives to allow their slaves the opportunity to become soldiers in the War, and to eventually gain their freedom. In the New York colony, 500 acres of land were offered to any slaveholder who allowed each slave to enlist for 3 years in the Colonial Army. For the most part, these slaves became freed men as part of their own compensation for fighting the British. The British also courted Black men into their ranks.
Why did many poor Southerners complain that the Civil War was a rich man's fight?
They said it was a rich man's war and a poor man's fight. That was because a lot of dirt-poor troops were having to fight for the profits of rich landowners who were not in uniform. Northern troops were saying the same - because of the disastrous law that allowed rich young men to pay a substitute to enlist in their place.
