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 :)
They wanted to help their country and their allies.
During the American Revolutionary War, the militia men who were ready at a moments notice were called Minutemen. They were mainly composed of young men who could be mobile.
No. The troops were young men and boys. The boys were drummer boys, but many did fight as well.
Yes, many men rushed to enlist at the start of the war, driven by a sense of patriotism, adventure, and the belief that the conflict would be short-lived. Initial enthusiasm and societal pressure often led to large enlistments, as young men sought to defend their nation and prove their valor. However, this eagerness quickly waned as the harsh realities of war set in.
Well for their country, but most of the men were forced. if you declined you will probably have got thrown out of the village or even killed. people were also forced to fight. the ones that wanted to enlist were probably teken in by prpoganda.
They were no different from Canadian or US males; men from those two nations also rushed to enlist. Adventuresome men have existed since time immortal.
Yes, young men fight in all wars

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.
No, they didn't.
